From Blobs to Detailed Body Parts: Sculpting Human Anatomy in ZBrush

Today, let's take a brief break from our everyday troubles and give our minds a brief moment of respite by enjoying a couple of captivating timelapse videos recently shared by Sherif Dawoud, a talented 3D Artist and Digital Sculptor whose remarkable masterpieces have left us in awe time and time again.
