I will also demonstrate and explain some common sculpting fails when it comes to creating more realistic sculptures. From this tutorial, you will gain insights and processes for making impressive sculptures of animals. Throughout this video, you'll watch me demonstrate how to sculpt a fox, but if you skip ahead to the last quarter of the video, I will speed sculpt a bear, cat, and fish as well. You are encouraged to follow along with me, or watch it and then reference as necessary!
