Digital Figure Sculpture is an intensive 10-week digital sculpting course designed to teach classical techniques of figure sculpture using ZBrush. Over the duration of the course students will sculpt a complete male figure as well as a number of shorter weekly studies. Each week full-enrollment students submit work-in-progress sculptures to Scott and receive a video review and ‘sculpt over’ showing where changes need to be made to progress their sculptures to the next level of realism.

The course teaches the artistic fundamentals of figure sculpture and covers the ZBrush workflow and techniques that Scott uses day-in and day-out to create his own digital sculptures. For a week-by-week breakdown of the sculpting assignments and Scott’s example sculptures see the Figure Sculpture Blog.

The goal of the course is to give students a solid foundation in the artistic and technical aspects of digital figure sculpture. Weekly lessons consist of video lectures covering the fundamentals of figure sculpture, ZBrush techniques, Q&A videos, and assignment sculpt-overs. Lecture topics include:

1. Mesh Creation
2. Proportions, Volume, and Planes
3. Landmarks and Measurement
4. Pose Analysis, Gesture, and Contours
5. Blocking and Refining Form
6. Approaches to Muscle, Fat, and Bone
7. Portraiture
8. Hair, Veins, Wrinkles
9. Lighting and Rendering
