What is 3D modeling and sculpting?
Digital sculpting, also known as sculpt modeling or 3D sculpting, is the use of software that offers tools to push, pull, smooth, grab, pinch or otherwise manipulate a digital object as if it were made of a real-life substance such as clay.

Is sculpting or painting harder?
Sculpture can be more difficult than painting if it is “subtractive sculpture” (sculpture that is produced by removing material from a block of stone or wood), since it does not allow the artist to correct his work as in “additive sculpture”, which can be corrected by adding, or adding back material to the work.

When to use polypaint or polygroups for sculpting?
If you plan to have only one subtool/retopo mesh, you can also use polygroups instead of polypaint for ID’s for faster results, but the same polypaint can be applied across subtools whereas polygroups cannot Clean up your subtools: figure out which parts of your sculpt will be separated when baking, and group them up under the same subtools
