Digital Sculpting in Blender is an alternative method of mesh manipulation that aims to be more artistically intuitive. It emulates traditional sculpting tools in the form of “brushes” and can even function as an “unlimited clay” approach to shape building. If you’re artistic and you like to build organic models, I highly recommend you try these digital sculpting tutorials with Blender!
