I’m wanting to start sculpting some characters, but I’m trying to figure out how to sculpt clothing items to add. If anyone has some good tips for how to do this, I would greatly appreciate it. :+1:t2:

Quick’n’dirty way…

Start with a torso form

Paint a mask representing the targeted apparel shape. Here, I’m in a FRONT, non-perspective view using SelMask with a Lasso to get my mask. Note that Symmetry is ON.

In the SelMask tool options, set the desired thickness of the clothing. Here, I have 0.02. Further down on the Extract section, I have it on “Shell”. Although not too evident in this shot, the word “Extract” itself is a button. Press it….

The mask turns into an extracted article of clothing ready to be sculpted on.

Here’s ProcreateFX’s clothing tutorial - I found his method of keeping extracted clothes as simple as possible in order to sculpt w/the clay brush was very useful.
