could take a year or so.

you need to know what brushes to use in which circumstance. certain techniques to achieve certain results. for the eyes for instance; you could box model it in zbrush or in maya/blender or use a boolean operation in zbrush....all these things take time to study and understand

maybe less if studying under the careful guidance of someone who knows what they're doing

it's just being good at looking at references and clever use of brushes. one week at most.

Im not too interested in sculpting/realism myself. but if I had to make what op posted i would box model a good base in maya/max then use clay buildup, pinch, dam standard and smooth in zbrush to sculpt on top of said base

Yup just one week plus a year of studying anatomy.

start from simple models, learn all tools

you need to know your muscles, veins, and bones by name, not just body proportions

1 week but that's assuming you already have the fundamentals down like anatomy and drawing

i know that too, zbrush just confuses the hell out of me. hopefully it gets easier the more you do it

OP, here I've learned that there is theory & and then there's practice. No matter how much I try to learn from others, I feel like I have to just get there through raw trial & error. There seems to be that same experience and muscle memory & workflow that needs to be attained by just doing, similar to drawing or any other skill. Doesn't matter how much I know. I still have to just practice practice practice and nothing else will make me get better.

Zbrush is industry standard so I'm sure there's lots of materials to learn from online.

Knowing anatomy, training an innate understanding of the forms ahd functions.
You should be able to mentally strip down a reference layer by layer, and form a strong conception of how it all builds up in your head.

Once you start really looking at reference sculpting becomes easier. Shapes and forms start making sense.

If you can draw that then it will take about a week. If you can't draw that then idk how long, you should probably get better at drawing.
