Personal study - learning zbrush

I always wanted to learn zbrush. The software really appealed to me but somehow I was always afraid of it. I once tried to use it but I was overwhelmed by the complicated user interface. Now I have tackled zbrush from a different angle. I went to the library and I supplied myself with few books that helped me to understand zbrush and push me towards making my first sculptures.

 The thing that i definitely love about zbrush is how simple it is to produce quick studies from only a sphere. With the pull option and few brushes such as clay build up and clay I am able to produce interesting characters and come up with new ideas from scratch. I am also happy that I don't have to use any external software like Maya to produce basic mesh for the character. While this is an option it is also possible to build up a whole body inside zbrush. 
Below are some of my characters that I have created inside zbrush. These were done of top of my head. Next on my list is to learn how to produce hard surface objects such as armors, weapons and props.
