I am very new to this and mostly RU-vid enlightened. Your method appears to be an anatomical build out, of sorts. Muscles and bone- sorta kinda :) Very impressive. I have only tried pulling the structures back, rather than building them out?*! In any case, thankyou for the pro video :)
it's the DaVinci Eye App. It's a paid app but I use it so much for checking my sculptures that it's worth it to me. You can do the same thing by taking pictures and overlaying them in a free software but I like the realtime feedback of the DaVinci eye app.
Thanks, yes that realtime overlay is really neat. I can see it being quite useful in sculpture. Much faster & more interactive than going to photoshop.@@AndrewJosephKeith
Oh I don't remove the armature for these sculptures. This clay is for mold making rather than firing in a kiln. If I was going to remove the armature I would cut it in half once it's almost finished and then hollow the sculpture out to make a consistent wall for firing (if I was sculpting in terracotta or other types of natural clay for kiln firing)
Thanks! I hung up some black bedsheets that I got from Walmart using paper clamps and large rings which I got from dollar tree. Then I try to make sure the light is shining on me & the work and not the background.
filling with aluminum foil is something I sometimes do but the aluminum foil sticks a lot to this clay so it's hard to remove it from the clay later on. That's why I prefer newspaper and a plastic bag right now. Filling the inside with paper saves expensive clay.
This is Chavant nsp medium (green) mixed with about 1/4th part Chavant nsp hard (tan) to get this color and hardness. 3 kilos is probably sufficient for a head this size especially if you fill the inside with newspaper or another material.
♥Watch you was so fun with focus. GJ. But I wonder something...mmm why did you erase it's eyes and mout ? was she your ex girlfriend or sister? you know. LoL. Thanks for video.
heh heh... the finale. 😄 Apart from this "wink", we realize that it would have taken very little to transform this woman's head into a portrait of a man wearing a big mustache. Very in tune with the actual times with all this political-media circus around gender.
