@cptken I be using a tablet, yarr. Just a Wacom Intuos. It’s small, yeah, but so is my workspace so I don’t think I’d have space for anything bigger haha.
To answer the other question, I started with a plane and then blocked out a very rough mesh, then added subsurf. Very backward way I know but for some reason I thought it was a good idea.
Also holy crabcakes that’s a lot of advice! I really appreciate it, you’re definitely correct about the anatomy, that’s what kinda scares me about sculpting to begin with, ’cause it’s mostly about creating organic things, but I thank you for your insight.
