Sculpt a dynamic creature pose

This 3d art tutorial is about sculpting believable creatures in a dynamic pose without symmetry. I know for a lot of people sculpting in pose is a scary proposition. I will try to break it down so it is not so daunting and hopefully you’ll find it’s something that you might actually like to do!

Why sculpt in pose? I think you get a better feel for the piece, instead of trying to fight a t-pose into shape, you can get more nuanced. I think all digital sculptors should do some in-pose pieces every now and then just to keep up their skills. I know from personal experience I get lazy when I use symmetry too often, my skills start to atrophy.
