Title: Troubleshooting ZBrush Bear Sculpting Issues: A Beginner's Guide

As a beginner in ZBrush, you're probably excited to start sculpting your very first character - a polar bear! However, when using the move tool and switching to other brushes, you may encounter issues where only the red line follows your cursor. In this article, we'll help you troubleshoot common problems faced by beginners like yourself.

Understanding ZBrush Basics

Before diving into troubleshooting, it's essential to understand the basics of ZBrush sculpting. A beginner's guide is available on our website, which takes you through the process of creating a simple sculpture from scratch. Start with this tutorial and get familiar with the interface and basic tools.

Common Issues with Move Tool

One common issue beginners face is when the move tool becomes unresponsive after prolonged use. This might be due to the cursor being stuck on an object, causing the red line to follow your mouse movements. To resolve this:

1. Restart ZBrush: Sometimes, a simple restart can solve the problem.

2. Use the move tool less frequently: Try using other brushes or tools in between uses of the move tool.

Switching Brushes and Tools

When you encounter issues with switching brushes, it's possible that the cursor is still stuck on an object. To resolve this:

1. Check the ZTL Subtools list: Ensure that you're not accidentally working with a subtool that's causing the issue.

2. Restart ZBrush: If restarting doesn't solve the problem, try using other tools and brushes to see if they work.

Tips for Successful Sculpting

To avoid these issues in the future:

1. Use simple techniques: As mentioned earlier, we use very simple techniques in our tutorials that you can apply to your own sculpting process.

2. Practice regularly: The more you practice, the more comfortable you'll become with ZBrush and its tools.
