Would you like a jelly baby?
It's been in my pocket through 4 regenerations,
but it's still good.

 I've been learning digital sculpting and have been really enjoying it. I'm starting with simpler items - bases, terrain, scatter mostly as practice. But I really like the way this came out so I'm now working on making more of these. Thoughts?

I quite like it. What are you sculpting with?

Thanks!! Nomad Sculpt for IPad. It’s not as full featured as Zbrush, but it seemed like a good beginners app.

That’s pretty neat - I take it that it’s more of a sculpting than modeling program? As in, it’s closer to moving putty/clay than just making and arranging polygons.

Zbrush is mostly my preference because it’s got a fast workflow that’s closer to traditional sculpting, and a lot of it is absolute overkill. I’m just figuring out proper retopologizing for cleaner models, and it’s killing me slowly how much goes into all of this.

Yeah, that's correct. It's more difficult to do hard surface models, at least at my skill level. I've watched a lot of videos showing how to do it, so I know you can, but precise positioning is difficult for me.

If I do something needing more 'modeling' and precision, I'll start it in Shapr3D (also on iPad, but also has a workstation version).

Oh god, I feel you. All my models are friggin' huge file size-wise, and getting them to a reasonable level without turning everything into Minecraft takes forever. I will learn zBrush as well, but I want to at least get the basics down first. Last time I tried to learn Blender I bounced off it because I didn't have any kind of base level understanding of what I was doing. Just repositioning something was awful for me.
