It suits participants with a basic understanding of ZBrush or similar tools.   **You will fit if you want to:** - Move from basic forms to production-quality anatomy and surface detail - Expand from generalist skills into creature and character design - Strengthen your portfolio with complex digital sculpts Image Credit: Sculpted by Danko, based on concept by Melanie Delon ![Image Credit: Sculpted by Danko, based on illustrations by Paul Bonner](https://cada-edu.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Social%20Media%20Posts%20(2).png?width=500&height=625&name=Social%20Media%20Posts%20(2).png) ## What You’ll Achieve By the end of the course you will: - Operate ZBrush with confidence across core workflows - Sculpt anatomically correct characters and creatures from blockout to polish - Apply anatomy to design decisions and silhouette quality - Produce a series of complex sculpts suitable for portfolio and reviews Image Credit: Sculpted by Danko, based on illustrations by Paul Bonner [Enrol Now](https://cada-edu.com/sculpting-in-zbrush-course#enrolnow) ## COURSE BREAKDOWN Click on each week to read more 1. ### Week 1: ZBrush fluency for production (onsite) **Goal:** Build an intermediate to advanced command of ZBrush so students can focus on artistic decisions in later weeks. **Outcome:** A set of practice sculpts that demonstrate confident use of core tools and workflows. **Key topics:** Interface and navigation, core brushes and transforms, masking, DynaMesh, SubTools, Polygroups, visibility masking, clipping brushes, ZRemesher, Sculptris Pro, UV Master, extract surface and deformers for armor and cloth, ZModeler, procedural masking and alphas. **Practice:** Skull study from reference, plus an open-choice model. **Review:** End-of-week show and tell. 2. ### Week 2: Group diorama production (onsite) **Goal:** Apply Week 1 techniques in a collaborative scene with clear composition and narrative. **Outcome:** A composed diorama that shows form hierarchy, readable silhouettes, and consistent detail control. **Brief options:** 1. Two characters, dramatic outdoor arena overgrown by nature 2. One character, tragic interior stairwell 3. Architecture and nature, harmonious setup such as a Japanese tower with a cherry tree 4. Nature with architectural props, dramatic setup such as an ancient battlefield and cliff entrance 3. ### Week 3: Using ZBrush for Anatomical construction (remote class) **Goal:** Learn to digitally construct the human body using anatomical rules by focusing on individual regions. **Outcome:** A coherent set of ZBrush anatomy studies that assemble into proportionally correct figure construction. **Focus areas:** Head and neck planes and landmarks, torso relationships and rhythm, arm and hand muscle groups and planes, leg and foot structure, gesture to form transition. **Practice:** Digital progressive ecorché studies per region, then integrated proportional studies. 4. ### Week 4: Sculpting in ZBrush with 3D reference material (remote class) **Goal:** Improve anatomical accuracy by working from ground-truth 3D scan reference and translating it into clean sculptural forms in ZBrush. **Outcome:** A refined ZBrush sculpt guided by scans, ready for portfolio presentation. **Focus areas:** Building reference boards from scans, measuring proportion and angles, plane breaks, pose and presentation choices, optional 3D print readiness. **Practice:** Detailed human body ZBrush sculpt using 3D scan reference, packaged with turntables and stills for portfolio. ## MEET YOUR INSTRUCTORS ![Danko Guest teacher posters (590 x 600 px)-3](https://cada-edu.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Danko%20Guest%20teacher%20posters%20(590%20x%20600%20px)-3.png?width=1680&height=945&name=Danko%20Guest%20teacher%20posters%20(590%20x%20600%20px)-3.png) ## Daniele 'Danko' Angelozzi   **Daniele Danko Angelozzi** is an internationally acclaimed 3D Digital Artist specialized in Sculpting and 3D Printing for Collectibles.
