Course Transcript - While ZBrush can be challenging to learn, it's also very rewarding when it clicks into place, so if you can get comfortable with it, you'll find yourself creating more and better work than you thought possible. I've been working with ZBrush basically every day for the past 10 years and it hasn't always been easy for me, sometimes it's downright frustrating but every time you use it, you can learn something new that makes it easier the next time.
My biggest tip that I can give you in this course and the tip that I'm going to wrap it up with is to just stick with it. Not just on the technical side of learning the tools but also on the artistic side. If you really wanna get good with ZBrush, I recommend doing a mini project every day, something that could be done in one hour. No matter how much a beginner you are, you can find something that is simple enough to be done in one hour.
Every day when you finish that one-hour project, ask yourself, what is the biggest thing that I can. Practice while you learn with exercise files.
