Character Sculpting
Character sculpting is the process of creating a high-resolution 3D model with a series of painting strokes, using a pressure-sensitive tablet or screen. Usually the details from these models are baked into a NormalMap for a lower-resolution in-game model.
Sculpting Tutorials
These tutorials cover hard-to-find subject matter, or they offer in-depth explanations of reasoning and technique. If you're looking for music-only timelapse head sculpt videos, they're widely available elsewhere.

Hard-Surface Sculpting
Most mechanical modeling is done with Subdivision Surface Modeling but digital sculpting apps can also be used for mechanical work.
