blender sculpting

[Cookiecrumbles222]

Hey guys so i'm trying to sculpt for the first time in blender and i cant find an answer for this so any help is much appreciated, so i am trying to enable dynamic typology but when ever i do it destroys my mesh and makes it look aweful and then when i draw it is crazy pixelated example below. (the error that pops up is because i have a UV map, but i disabled it and fixed the error but it still ruined my mesh) thanks guys!

Do you have the Sub-surf on in modifiers? This is how it looks for me when I use dynamic topology:

This is how it looks after I disabled dynamic topology and re-enabled the sub-surf:

Dynamic Topology alters your mesh to fit detail, most often with triangles. It is good for sculpts where you don't know the final detail level, such as entirely random sculpts (set it and forget), but it is the wrong tool for making a final model. You'd want either the subsurf modifier, or you build your final mesh from your sculpt.

Thanks for the help guys, does anyone know how blender guru did it in his video? when he did it it just worked without used any alterations why is mine behaving differently i followed all this steps in his video, do i have different settings because its 2.8

You don't have to use the dynamic topology, you just select sculpt mode and use subtract:

Also Blenderguru used a smaller brush radius and I think he used a drawing tablet, so the strength is based on pressure.
