Comment on Do people still sculpt? Any sculptors here on Lemmy?

I discovered I could sculpt a couple years ago, which was revolutionary for me because I’ve been trying to draw my entire life but disabilities have always made it extremely difficult. But I can just sculpt without really even thinking about it! Form is so much easier to grasp (no pun intended) than image.
I love working with Blender’s sculpting tools, which is where I discovered sculpting. Digital sculpture has a LOT going for it and I haven’t done a lot with physical media, but the stuff I’ve done has been fun and not hampered by my disabilities either.

Hey jerkface! I keep meaning to dive further into Blender sculpting. I like tinkering with Python too & sounds like the two pair well.

It’s so much fun!! You have to retopologize scuplts if you want to do anything more than static renders, which is a whole different skill, but if all you want is something you can print or render, I think that real world sculpting skills would transfer very well.
