Cloth Sculpting in ZBrush - Tutorial

This is an unedited, real-time (but relatively concise) tutorial that anyone can follow and work at their own pace. In these videos, I'll show you how to confidently start sculpting cloth instead of slapping random folds all over the place! (Don't worry, we've all done it)

One of the most important character art skills is increasing knowledge and proficiency in sculpting realistic and believable clothing.
