Hi !

This year, I decided to learn about 3D art and got into using Blender.  
After making a donut, I looked for a step-by-step guide, and I found this :  
[https://studio.blender.org/training/blender-fundamentals-45-lts/](https://studio.blender.org/training/blender-fundamentals-45-lts/).

 ![Final result](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/5/9/8/598f361380f4899ca8bc26707681ae4f6ee7667b.png)

This is the result of the sculpting guide for a gnome, with vertex painting.  
My aim is first to have an understanding of the tool, so I try not to focus too much making things look"perfect" (like with painting, where it requires more artistic skills than I currently have).  
Eventually, I want to learn about the animation pipeline(s).

Here are a few steps :

There is a remeshing step at the end, after joining all the objects together, and the gnome lost the smooth look it got with the _Multires_ modifier. Also, painting the shoes was messy, and I did not find out why.

Could you give me some feedback on this ?  
Do you have sugestions on how it could have been made differently ?  
Do you have suggestions on what to learn next ? For now, I plan to go on with the **Blender Fundamentals** training, UV Unwrapping being the next tutorial. I heard **Grant Abbitt** has good tutorial videos, I’ll also look into that.

Thank you for passing by !
