Blender is not ZBrush, in terms of achievable poly count, but you still can do some pretty decent sculptings in Blender. And if you know the secret tips and tricks, it will get even better.
In this tutorial you will learn a workflow on how to create high resolution sculptings in Blender 2.79, while maintaining a smooth running viewport (probably not for potato computers).
