03 use Adaptive Skin
Once you’re ready to start sculpting directly on the mesh, go to Adaptive Skin, then select Preview, set Density to 2 and click on Make Adaptive Skin. Personally, I have handy hotkeys set up for the Move Topological, Claytubes, Displace and Standard brushes to speed up my workflow. For the Displace brush, I always turn on Accucurve (Brush>curve>accucurve), for the Standard brush, I use Alpha 46 and roll distance (Stroke>modifiers>roll Dist) set to 3.
