Great Tutorials thank´s for Sharing.
Hey these are just great beginner tutorials, and not just related to ZBrush either as much of the information relates to most if not all 3d packages.
Nice bouncy presentation, great to see and hear a tutorial by someone who is obviously enthusiastic about the subject and is also enjoying doing the presentation.
Well done and what a fantastic start to your welcomed arrival at ZBC.
My Grandson is gonna really enjoy these.
