Tools for Quickly Sketching Monster Heads in ZBrush

Sketching with Digital Clay: A Monster Head covers Jeff McAteer's approach for quickly sketching creature heads using ZBrush. In this tutorial Jeff starts with a basic head shape. Then using the Standard Brush he begins to search for the monster's face. Once the monster is roughed in, Jeff moves on to detailing his creature like only he can. With subtle touches that make the creature come to life.

wondeful tuto.
Please tell me how you change so fast the size of the brush. There is a keyboard shortcut or tablet shortcut. What is it please ?
This is definitely useful instead of going in the menu and back or using the S key.

For french people they are
Right Parenthesis to get small
Circumflex to increase
