Stylized Face (English) by Vijay Pratap Singh

If you want to get good at stylized faces, this is straight practice, not theory overload. You start from a blank sphere in ZBrush and build up proportions, planes, and personality until you have a face that actually reads well in 3D.

🎯 What you’ll learn

• Sculpt a stylized face from scratch in ZBrush
• Block in correct head proportions and facial planes
• Sculpt stylized eyes, nose, mouth, and ears that work together
• Push exaggeration without breaking anatomy
• Add skin details, asymmetry, and character expression
• Present your work for a job-ready character art portfolio

✅ Requirements

• Skills: Basic familiarity with ZBrush UI and 3D navigation
• Tools: ZBrush, Discord for live classes and feedback
• Hardware: PC capable of running ZBrush, drawing tablet recommended, minimum 16GB RAM

📝 Description

This isn’t a button-click tutorial. It’s a mentorship-driven class where you sculpt along, get stuck, and get direct feedback. Vijay walks you through his actual character sculpting workflow step by step, with weekly live classes.

You focus on what actually matters for stylized work: facial anatomy, plane breaks, and shape language. How big can you push the eyes? When does the jaw get too sharp? How do you keep the face appealing from every angle? You learn to answer that by doing it.

The structure is simple and practical. Blockout first, features second, character third. No skipping to details before the base is solid. You also get the community side on Discord, so you see other students’ sculpts, critiques, and fixes in real time. That’s where a lot of learning happens.

By the end, you don’t just have a random practice head. You have a clean process you can repeat for any stylized character – male, female, cartoon, semi-realistic – and you know how to spot your own proportion mistakes.
