Do I need a tablet to sculpt properly?

[Kittenwarrior]

I'm trying to sculpt with my mouse and all I've done is deformed the object in view. Am I missing something? I can't see any actual strokes.

No you dont try it mobile through your phone but you mifmght have to buy a special mouse🖱📱📲💾🖋

Actually you need to give it more smooth and try to sculpt. Dont listen to Jeffery.

Its strongly recommended you use a tablet it depends on what you're trying to sculpt, I sculpted convincing buttprints into a leather sofa with a mouse, but for a human head sculpt get a tablet.

You probably dont have enough subdivisions on the mesh for the sculpt to show. Use the multiresolution modifier NOT THE SUBSURF

also there is a wiki page that explains sculpting in blender far better than I could.

Yeah ,it's as QuestionMarks suggested,you may need a properly amount of Quad/Triangle to work with,Sculpting mostly work on the vertrices not face.

Even so,I don't recommend using mouse to work with sculpting ,I am also using a tablet as well for sculpting.

Dyno topology u need to turn on, then u get more faces were u sculpt.

A tablet or mouse is just what u prefer, I have seen people using a mouse and have just as good sculpts as people with tablets.

Both work, both need a lot of practice to work. I got a graphical tablet and I ended up playing games with the tablet and sculpting with a mouse.

Is Dyno topologoy like a basic or something? I've seen lots of sculpting tutorials but no mention of it. I figure it's that thing everyone knows except for beginners. If so, how can I turn that on?

Edit: Okay, I found it. Thanks. Still trying to make strokes though.
