Joseph's shiny new sketchbook

Maybe try to use less force on the stylus or turn down the effect of the sculpting there a bit to much force in those dent also it seem like there some slight issue with the mesh inflating which i think happen when the mesh doesn't have enough resolution for the amount of displacement you did in the mesh.

What render engine was use evee or cycle?

I hope i played atleast a small role in inspiring you to pick up blender.If not atleast now i got someone to who might teach me something i don't know yet.

Personally i recommend you learn the shortcut as much as possible it an other ball game it much more shortcut heavy if you want to work fast and you will get alot more done for sure.Also pick up some add on and tweaking your experience is the difference between painful and fun experience.

Everything here is on cycles. Yeah the mesh got a hole in it that I didn't know how to fix lol. And yes I agree the sculpted dents are not great. It was my first time trying it. Overall wasn't too happy with the anvil but it was good to go through the process so I learn things more than get a good result.
Maybe you inspired me a bit to do it lol. I know you're probably the only other person on here doin 3D. I made it a soft goal for the summer tho mostly to help out with my 2D painting. mocking up scenes, architecture, and designing objects to be in scenes and stuff. I already used it a bit for some of my paintings, using models as reference to get drawing of things from difficult viewpoints. but I was limited to downloading models already made and rotating them.

Thanks for the tips!

What you mean by hole can you show me the mesh upclose in a transparent mode?Did you find how to fix it i might know how to... also i think it as to do with point that are where vertex might be intersecting such as a edge which might be problematic .

Here a video that might help if it the problem i think... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vApGpkd05x4

here and other video that might teach you other alternative way to fix hole in your mesh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIVhN5x0lu8

Oh and i recommend learning to import image if you plan to use blender for a 2d/3d workflow.
