    Good video! Few things though: 1. Sculpting in Perspective mode is generally not a good idea 2. I would recommend dynameshing before applying any deformation effects I'm really glad you covered the focal shift though, that's something that a lot of beginners commonly forget about when working with alphas.

    Thanks for your tutorials. Im learning sculpting with 3D software and so I searched some brushes but they are outrageously expensive $290 for a collection of a single subject (human skin) $2900 for all the subjects, its just obscene. I get that people have to make money in some way but I hate overzealous artists, Im going to make some skin alphas and then brushes, I will try to make the best alphas and brushes possible even if I have to 3D scan skin and objects with a microscope and laboriously sculpt realistic geometry to bake the mesh and Alphas. Then I will give them away for free or very little money, now I have a -purpose- hobby and it shall be fulfilled.
