Just discovered your videos a few days ago. Really well done. I appreciate the comments about your approach to sculpting. So much better than the other types of videos where it is all music and fast motion. It's been over 20 years since I picked up a sculpting tool and your videos have sparked my interest again. I look forward to more videos from you.
Great work, the anatomy looks good from forehead to jaw! Thank you for the tip on using the plastic bag for fine details, glad picked something here! Just wonder if you will be doing any video using water base clay for a full size sculpture head? Thanks
I love your videos! You totally inspired me to go out and get some clay and try this myself! I'm totally loving the challenge! You're right about art stores not having much in the way of sculpting tools. I was able to get a wood knife, and a loop tool, but I'm wondering what are those spatula looking tools you're using? Might use the web to get something like that. Seems handy. Looking forward to the next tutorial! Great work!
Also, Do you ever do molds and casts of your sculptures? Would love a tutorial on how to do that, if I ever get good enough to produce something I'd like to keep/reproduce. Thanks!
That's awesome! It's always amazing when you first start where you can see what your hands are capable of. The spatula thing is a wood pallet knife (I list my materials in this video here if you want to take a look: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_wg-ejixB8k.html). And unfortunately I haven't mastered the casting process yet. I just let me sculptures sit out when they're done and give them a good dusting occasionally.
Great instruction and another amazing sculpture. I would only ask one thing of you and that being finding another word for you sculpt holder because some people may find the one your using now disturbing. Cheesy sounds so much better lol.
Colldoff well. They do harden to some extent by getting cold. But yeah only way is make a mold and make a copy of it in some plaster or some silicone or epoxy
Very nice learning video. Question, you set up the sculpture on a piece of wood, but the wood is not painted. Is this just for demonstration? Because I think the wood should be painted before you set up the sculpture on top.
Hey absolutely have been mesmerised by your tutorials and sculptures!!! In fact....I went out and bought water based clay and have started sculpting for the first time because of you so thanks!!! However...Now that I have finished a small sculpture...I want to conserve it for a long time and can't find any alternatives to firing it....can small sculptures withstand just drying normally? Thanks again...you have just gained a real fan man! All the best! ;)
Greetings from Greece. Please can someone tell me what it the spray that is hardening the clay? Compressed air spray or something different. I have ordered the same clay and i want to be prepared. Thanks a lot.
hi i love your work Elliot ur videos have helped me tons.iv started doing this and its actually going well. What clay do u use?? I'm using newplast and its really nice to work with but don't set, and iv tried das clay and it seems to fluffy to work with and really messy any advice would be great . Thanks
This is shitty advice, but I don't keep mine clean to be honest. They don't seem to be collecting too much dust right now but I think you can wipe it down with water very gently.
hey man i rarely comment but your videos are really cool. i'm actually a transportation design student and starting out with a clay course next week! would be cool to see more videos in the future, really enjoyable while sketching! greetings from sweden
