Free brushes for ZBrush: brush sets
Do you want to diversify your collection of sculpting brushes in ZBrush? We have prepared a detailed material from the curator of Skills Up School courses in 3D Ladislava Klyarovskaya.
Ladislava advises which brushes to download first and shares them — yes, after the text you will find a link to free brushes for ZBrush.
— First, I want to warn those who think that brushes will резко raise their sculpting level. It's not true. You need to introduce new brushes carefully, otherwise instead of mastering the basics, you will try different brushes and not understand why they don't work in your hands the way they do in tutorials.
This is especially true for texture brushes. In order for them to help you and decorate your work, the base model must be completed, the volumes must be well readable, and the mesh must be smooth, without creases and strange holes. All the packs and brushes that will be discussed in the material, you will find the link after the text.
Orb brush pack
One of the most popular and frequently used brushes in sculpting. This great addition is suitable primarily for those who work with environment and weapons. You can easily make solid objects, process them and add artistic chips.

I recommend this pack to beginners — a set of three brushes that will help you easily make the texture of hair and fur and save time. The result obtained after working with these brushes requires not much effort for final finishing.
Here you can download the brushes I talked about: download link.
I personally use all the brushes, they are tested in work. I hope they will find a worthy place in your brush collection or, perhaps, become its beginning.
Good creative mood and no program crashes for everyone!
At Skills Up School you can learn 3D graphics from scratch. We regularly start courses:
3D Express — this is a powerful start: you will master the basics of 3D, learn to work in modern 3D programs, figure out how and for what 3D graphics are used.
3D Basic — for those who want to master the full cycle of creating a 3D model: from a dummy in 3Ds Max to sculpting in Zbrush with the retopology process and preparing the model for texturing.
3D Blender — we study Blender and additional programs for creating a развертки and textures in detail.
And there is also a package of courses in 3D for those who want to thoroughly immerse themselves in the topic, build a portfolio and get a job as a 3D Artist after a year of intensive study.
Pay attention to our useful article "instruction with the most frequent problems in ZBrush and their solutions", as well as Overview of the most popular Zbrush brushes
Stitches
The next pack is various stitches and small folds, which are sometimes so lazy to sculpt. I'll warn you right away: even if you use such a brush, you still need to refine the details so that the repeating elements do not catch the eye. But the brush sets the initial direction of the folds perfectly.
Chain brush
I advise you to pay attention to an insert brush that makes chains. It is difficult to underestimate its usefulness, given that there are many types of chains, and this brush will at least provide several options.
Free hair
The last addition will be an insert brush that makes locks. It would seem, why do you need a second brush for hair? But thanks to her, you can pull out a variety of tentacles, braids, ropes and much more, changing settings minimally.
