This week we want you to use your favourite sculpting tool and create a model starting from a sphere. Then simply tag it #RookiesWeeklyDrills and #SphereChallenge.
These days sculpting tools give you so much power it's often a good idea to get back to basic. No layers, subtools, dynamics or professional base meshes. Your challenge this week is to start with a simple sphere and build from there. We want to see what you can create using only standard sculpting brushes. You could create a character face, a full blown creature or even go hard-surfaced and build a sci-fi object. Please make sure to share screen grabs of your process this week.
To get some feedback on your work-in-progress project before you submit it, head over to Discord channel and chat with other artists having a crack. To see all the Weekly Drill projects just follow this link.

I decided that this week’s challenge was a great opportunity for me to start learning new software, so I decided to study Cinema 4D. I found it to be amazing software! Highly recommend!

This week I decided to go crazy with this drill and try to do something I had never done before. This is a quick sculpture I made from my imagination. I know, it’s not perfect, but I had a lot of fun creating it. Hope you like it!

F.A.Q
How many entries can I submit?
As many as you want.
How do I tag my project?
During Step 2 of the project building process, you will see a tag input field in the right column under your project title and description input fields. Note: Do not include "#" with your tag (e.g. #RookiesWeeklyDrills), the tool already handles that for you. See below for example.
