In this video I talk about a tip for beginners to "Start thin and simple and then slowly build out mass and complexity" this sounds simple but it's something that a lot of beginners struggle with. If you can master this principle you are well on your way to becoming a good sculptor.

Today I started my first ever clay class and I still can't even kneading, and with full confidence I'm here, watching "how to make sculpture" 😅😅

@AndrewJosephKeith 4 месяца назад

Might as well start off on the right foot! 😃

@Rey.89 4 месяца назад

@@AndrewJosephKeith hope I'll come here again one day, and tell you I'm sculpting now 😊

@baldsloth1327 9 месяцев назад

helpful video.. thanks

Glad to hear it!

Good day, I really like your videos and wanted to do the course, but I was working only with air dry clay, so can I ask if I use traditional clay as you do, is it necessary to dry it special oven or it can slowly dry by itself?

@user-pm5pu-Gladys 4 месяца назад

I came across your channel recently and really enjoying it! You do great work! I have a block of clay from a wheel throwing class that's just sitting there. Is it the type of clay you're using?

@AndrewJosephKeith 4 месяца назад

Thanks! No I prefer oil and wax based clays (non drying modeling clay also called plasteline) it’s great for reusing and mold making. Natural water based clays are great though especially if you have access to a kiln for firing them.

@lourdkristondanleyaragon808 2 месяца назад

Thank you for the simple tips, now I love to start sculpting, What type of clay you need when starting sculpting?

@AndrewJosephKeith 2 месяца назад

I like Chavant nsp medium but a cheap non-drying modeling clay works great too. I think reusable clay is good so you can practice with it for many pieces.

@lourdkristondanleyaragon808 2 месяца назад

Awesome, Is shavant nsp can be bake like polymer clay?

@AndrewJosephKeith Месяц назад

No It’s oil based and for mold making.

@novsmind 2 месяца назад

Awesome video!! I've been thinking about getting into sculpting on my own and these are some great tips! Do you think I'd progress a little faster already having an understanding of how proportions work? I've been an artist for almost 7 years but I've never tried sculpting before so I'm a little nervous...

@AndrewJosephKeith 2 месяца назад

Artistic background definitely helps. I’d try it for sure because I had a background in drawing but after trying sculpting I really connected with working in the round and felt I was almost better at that than drawing even though I’d been drawing my whole life.

@novsmind 2 месяца назад

@@AndrewJosephKeith Perfect! Thank you so much, I'll try it right away

@desimiller8531 3 месяца назад

Would this method work with air dry clay? or would you recommend a different product? I want to start working with 3D painting and a combination of painting and sculpting. I'm looking for the material and technique that would be best for something like that. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

@AndrewJosephKeith 3 месяца назад

I’m not sure if an air dry clay would work because the armature might cause cracking in the clay. Polymer clay or epoxy clay might be a better option. They are more expensive but you can do most of the sculpting with aluminum foil or newspaper and masking tape and just use the clay towards the end once the basic forms are in place.

@someuser4166 Месяц назад

I'm not a sculptor but I am an illustrator. Whilst working in my garden I found some clay in the ground. I thought "I know anatomy, I could probably make something out of this" but I couldn't lol. It turned out very weird

@AndrewJosephKeith Месяц назад

It is definitely it’s own skill set but a lot of the knowledge from drawing translates to sculpting.

@belindacurtis48 6 месяцев назад

Do you fire the sculpture with armature inside

@AndrewJosephKeith 6 месяцев назад

No I make a mold and cast it.

@bellthasanon2892 21 день назад

Once you've finished sculpting, how do you remove the wire that holds the figure?

@AndrewJosephKeith 21 день назад

The wire remains and the mold is built around it. These are not for firing in a kiln.

@artsmodelstation9396 9 месяцев назад

Cranial System: so the size of the head determines the size of the figure ?

@AndrewJosephKeith 9 месяцев назад

It's a little different than the head system that most artist's are familiar with. If you search "Cranial Unit System Proko" there's a video that explains the system. or I go over it in the video on "how to make a wire armature" that's on the Proko 3D RU-vid channel.

@artsmodelstation9396 9 месяцев назад

@@AndrewJosephKeith I watched those. What I meant is, let’s say, the cranial unit measures out 20ft (I’m exaggerating), that would be super big sculpture because I’m using that unit to measure out my armature.

@Darklait Месяц назад

3:30 sus but okey. The sculpture is crazy good

@RezaKaviani11 9 месяцев назад

when I try to sculpt , the clay feels too soft. Is it the clay or is it me not being able to control it? When i try to carve out or cut the clay... it feels kinda weird. should I get a harder kind of clay?

@AndrewJosephKeith 9 месяцев назад

your clay may be too soft for what you're sculpting. I like chavant nsp medium and I even mix a little bit of hard clay in so that its just a bit firmer. Soft clay is usually for larger sculptures but it's hard to use it for smaller pieces because it is so easily deformed.

@mickrozycki451 9 месяцев назад

@@AndrewJosephKeith Do you warm the clay up when you're starting?

@AndrewJosephKeith 9 месяцев назад

@@mickrozycki451 yeah I’ll set it in front of a heater or in the oven at a low heat to warm it up for the beginning stages. Once most of the mass is in place that’s when I like it to be firmer.

@vstar7196 7 часов назад

You can’t “teach” anyone to sculpt. A person has to have an eye for proportion and detail. These can’t be taught. Some have the gift and can sculpt right away. Others have to practice endlessly before they get it.

@AndrewJosephKeith 9 месяцев назад

mine is a little different. Its a non-drying clay so that I can sculpt and leave it for a while then come back and finish without worrying about it drying. Then I make a mold and cast it once the sculpture is done.

@yvettetrespalacios 9 месяцев назад

Ok, then I better not work with this clay. I appreciate your reply. Have a blessed day.
