@drgnclw Thank you!
As far as my hopes and dreams go, getting half as good as you in terms of sculpting in early 2019 would nice 😀
Oh dude, thats a lot of praise. All I can advice you is to just get your hands dirty now. Open blender (or sculptris) and start bashing in that sphere. It requires minimal setup (in the case of dyntopo or sculptris it actually requires zero prep) and you can treat it like a sketch. Doodle in 3d so to speak. 🙂
