I still think you should get a tablet, they're only $50-100 for a decent medium-sized tablet
Christmas is coming up, maybe you can get someone to gift it to you if for some reason you can't spare $50-100

it's a matter of preference but I hate screen tablets, the angle is uncomfortable, my hand covers the screen, I have to hold my arm while sculpting and the screen protector gets covered in scratches
but I do have muscle memory for using a regular tablet since I practiced a lot when I learned to draw

for what it's worth I feel it too. I think I'm just under 1.5m triangles in picrel but smooth started shitting the bed around 750k. frankly i dislike how brushes are now assets. I didn't sculpt a whole lot pre-4.3 but i feel like i remember brushes retaining their settings between sessions but now they reset everytime I close blender and it's annoying. I've never wanted to go backward with blender versions but between this and eevee next I'm genuinely considering going back to 4.1 and staying there until it gets better.

what you want to do is duplicate the brushes you use, get the settings you like and save them as assets
the new system is better than 4.2 where I had to have all my brushes saved in the startup file

new to sculpting does perfect anatomy really matter when pursuing a less realistic style? I'd imagine it would be more important to get the general shapes and sizes consistent more than anything else, no?

idk where else to ask but i tried the free zbrush mini today and holy SHIT the viewport navigation is so weird I can't grab the background to move i just can't do it bros. I can't figure out how to change it though and googling doesn't give me much. how tf do I change it to something like maya or blender? gonna be a dealbreaker for me if I can't, this shit is so unintuitive. can you at least fix it in the real version of zbrush?

>>1003809
topology doesn't matter when sculpting, you retopologize the object after you're done if you need good topology and low/medium polycount
if you already have a shape and you're just doing fine details on top, another option is to use subdivision levels (multires modifier in blender) to increase the mesh density

I tried driving into sculpting a while back and basically had no idea what I was doing. I thought part of the appeal was that you didn't have to worry about topology, at least at first

basically all these sculpts are useless because 1) they arent rigged and animated 2) they arent in tpose so #1 is impossible

How long have you been sculpting and what are you trying to sculpt? I also use a non-screen tablet. I think mainly it's just a matter of doing it often and learning the tricks and tools through exposure and knowledgeable creators online.

I can't say I've noticed a x8 difference, but I still think you should rip the band-aid off and update now instead of falling behind versions
it's going to take you a day to duplicate the brushes, tweak them to your liking, redo your shortcuts and save them as assets, but you only have to do it once

artstyle choice doesnt tell me much. Hair, titty size, clothing, accessories, anything that affects the characters silhouette will change how a pose feels.if your design has a "main element", whatever pose you choose should show it well. try roughly drawing your character on top on the pictures youve posted, it might help you decide. Or just do a proper character model and try all poses after retopo and rigging

I use Autodesk 3D max 2012 and on rigmodels I saw you can download the models in several formats so could you please tell me what format is the best for me?

that's how most people did it, even way back in antiquity. no one really just looked at a solid block of marble and spontaneously carved something out of it. except maybe michelangelo, dude wasn't human. also marble is relatively soft, it's easier than you would think to carve it.

continuing my study of ancient sculpture, this one is easily the worst so far. learned something cool though, I always thought she was young when this was made, but apparently she was in her late 40s/early 50s according to people who studied it. and yeah you look closely at the original and there are some subtle signs of aging which is pretty cool.

UV sphere, scrape the front and back flat, grab it into shape, keep it separate until the resolution of the head is high enough to remesh together
you want to keep the ear separate at first so you can easily sculpt the concha and tweak the position without affecting the head
because the ear has finer details than the head it helps to work at a higher resolution so remesh it to a higher resolution
