Sculpting the Aging Process 

I wish we could see more of this talent, his work is just stunning!!! More Video's PLEASE!!

i love it that you gave him a smile in the end! amazing video

a tour de force by a true master of the medium. incredible.

I love how you sculpt the deterioration of the human form by adding clay to the model. I got a real kick out of that.

You are amazing! I wish I could have joined your workshop at Ringling this year! I told my granddaughter to look you up! She attends Ringling

Great video of how to make a sculpture. Would like to see more of these and to learn from your work. Excellant work!

Absolutely amazing. This artist has some serious skills, I someday hope to be able to sculpt this well =D

This is really amazing...like wow..He really needs to have good grasp of bone and muscle structure in order to create this. It's just so inspiring.

man that dude is a beast

Philippe my heart has butterflies as I watch you sculpt, your talent, perspective and transitions ...and filming ...and music ...Wow... You Are Amazing. Thanks for Sharing all these Wonderful Videos and Inspiration.

Definitivamente el puntillismo abstracto de nuestro Gabino Amaya Cacho es, único e inconfundible, con esos bellos colores jamas se podrían confundir, estos no hacen puntillismo pero su arte es muy bonita bastante creativa Eduardo Arroyo, Luis Gordillo, Antonio López los invito a apoyarlos ya que tienen un gran talento.

what a lovely video, makes me imagine how my dad will look in the future awww i love old people theyre so wise and full of experience :)

This makes me wonder how I would age but then I look aty mom who is almost 50 and my dad who is almost 60 and they both look like they are still in their early to mid 30's so maybe there is hope lol :)

WOW they look alive. Beautiful work.

Ahhhh! Very amazing! Keep up the good work!! :-)

Why did I start crying???

you have a unique eye when it comes to detail and emotion

amazing!

im kind of traumatized

I don't know how this is possibly, but you just sculpting my late great grandfather throughout the years! Especially the smiling face! Brought up great memories. Thanks, friend!

Excelente!!!

que talento....

Beautiful, and informative. Thank you so much! Me? I'm glad I'm aging. More interesting features to discover than on a smooth, young, face, and also more exciting to find out how one can work on oneself so as to enjoy growing old. Don't fret. It's not that bad ... :) I actually enjoy it.

Well.. that was depressing. But AWESOME video!

incrível!!!!

Me gustaría saber el nombre concreto de este tipo de arcilla, es perfecto para modelar bustos. Gracias. J'amerais savoir le nom de cet type d'argile, c'est magnifique pour modeler . Merci. I would like to know the name of this kind of clay, it's perfect to sculpt. Thanks.

This music and Philippe Faraut's amazing ability to capture the the human body in clay go well together. It becomes less of watching an incredible talent, but more of watching ourselves grow old. This is an incredible, INCREDIBLE talent from both artists in his way. This video makes me miss the youth I had, appreciate the age I have now, and hope that I can be at the same level of peace in an age I've yet to encounter. Bravo.

Faz a Cármen Miranda é difícil acho que até pra você. 😊

Hi Mario I am self taught sorry.

Wow, This is amazing. I'd love to see a better quality or a new one. Thanks for sharing your art

Lovely to see someone who appreciates the beauty of ageing and that it is something that can be celebrated.

u r fantastic

Your brilliant Sir. Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for sharing. I also love the cow boy you did. I trying to tech myself..... any tips! Thank you

Thats kinda sad. But really good.

he makes me think of robin williams... rip

bravo!!! viens sur jakepo17 voir les sculpteurs Etienne et Jürgen Lingl Rebetez à bientôt, jacques

scary that sculpture looks like me lol. Now i know what I'll look like when i'm 100 lol. Amazing work!

the difference between sculpting digitally and sculpting physically, is CTRL+Z. That's it. The undo button. To sculpt in either, you need skill. The computer isn't doing any work for you like some idiots like to think. If you want proof of that, just download the demo version of one of them and see what amazing things you can't come up with due to your lack of skill. Physical and Digital sculpting go hand in hand.

@CaptScruffywhiskers Actually I think it's THE only lovely thing about it. This is hard to teach and someone like him is one and a million people. My personal favorite thing about sculpting is that you can use and reuse clay over and over again as long as it doesn't dry up. You can't do that with a painting or a drawing. It's classic too. Sculpting with clay will never go out of style.

Beautifully done of course..but..getting old is a bitch...this is depressing the hell out of me..

@ffles I agree completely. I do a lot of different forms of art, both traditional and digital, but people who see my digital art think that I don't have to use effort to make the stuff I do. If making thing digitally were that easy, it wouldn't be considered art. Hopefully some of those people will catch on...

This growing old debate in my opinion growing old sucks ..your the same person always inside that dont change. but ya cant party hard at all and have to take afternoon naps he he. Grow old discracefully thats my tip even if i gotta strap myself on to my motorcycle im still gonna burn rubber

Beautiful! Sad what life can do to such a gorgeous face! Made me cry! Glad you ended with the smile! Wish I had your talent!

I don't think that wrinkles make people look bad, in fact I think smile lines make people look better! Sure wrinkles won'r make you look like a sterotpyical sexy person but what a person should really be like, happy.

from the jawline to the sunken eyes, amazing detail, great post

@CaptScruffywhiskers using computer programs or cgi still requires multiple layers of talent and skill. it requires being able to picture something and to make it appear 3d in a 2d space.

Girls that what cute guys turn into after 40 years becarefull great I love it

@CaptScruffywhiskers What a lame, its always all about the "human talent and skill"? i think its a great video, skilled one sculpture or not, a great video

hi. your sculptures are magnificent.. however do you think you can sculpt some figures for me.. please respond...and tell me how much each cost...

I was thinking it would be very sweet and meaningful if with age came happiness.... and just as i thought that you added a smile... beautiful :D

AWESOME! Never seen something like it... loved it!

You have been growing old since the moment you were born. Plus, growing old, it sure beats the alternative... which is dying young.

This was amazing to watch. This is an old uploaded video, but Thank you so much for uploading it 😄

me podria decir q material utiliza=?? es arcilla¡?

Hi philippe I was wondering if you went to college or art academy and if you did which one did u attend? Mario A Mutis

I do not want to grow old!!!

I have done a little sculpting and it takes a large amount of patience, especially working on the eyes and mouth.

wow watched all the vids. ur really good. keep up the good work, but u probably dont need me to tell u this.

master! Thaks a lot. God bless you!

I think the man looked beautiful at all points of the video. The smile at the end was the most beautiful:).

But you lost the original piece

yes he looks cartoony he should have stopped when looks a bit younger.What is he using to model clay?

@CaptScruffywhiskers it still take talent and skill on the computer the principle is the same....

Watching our inevitable fate through the hands of a maestro is too realistic and convincing to enjoy the art ☹️

it s sad. if you would continue the aging process you would have to take away all the clay.

Fantastic video of the sculpting process. Can we see more? What kind of clay are you using?

This is honestly depressing... I dont want to get old..

its only sad when you make it you got to live forward and never look back im 16 and at times wish i could go back but know its not worth wishing and should always look forword or only bad can come

Brilliant. Your skill is practically beyond human.

@CaptScruffywhiskers CGI does never get better then the hands behind the computer.

hmmmm, Okay???? Trying to be so intellectual hahaha

Thanks. Beautiful Work ! Truth of Life ! SUPER FINE HANDICRAFTS,INDIA

@CaptScruffywhiskers CGI is done by hand, it is just a different medium

Well, look at it this way, getting old is better than not getting old.

Thats sad. It sucks how we get old. Im 30 now and wish I was 20 again!

is that just normal clay?

This was hard to find and worth the effort

It's almost like watching a person age. Which is fascinating.

Dammy all...that crystal meth light diet...getcha every time!

I feel like crying because this person is so fucking amazing.

Fascinating...especially the work around the eyes *****

what is the song?, someone please tell me. Sendme mp.

wow u really know the human face. so clever. 5 stars!

That's really great. I'm self taught as well and seeing your work really inspires me to keep working at it and improving.

i dont wanna get old! wahhhhhh! lol

This reminds me of that Limmy sketch

Even though I agree that neither method is easy, physically (I think) is a lot harder due to the fact that you must also use your muscles, get exhausted and so on. Also, the rewarding feeling afterwards, for me at least, is greater.

Yes they both require a great deal of skill, but the computer DOES do a lot work for you other than just CTRL+Z. With traditional sculpting you can add or subtract or push. With digital you can do these things but WAY faster (with the click of a button) and you can warp, inflate, pull (you cannot stretch clay). Even if you just used traditional type tools in zbrush you could still do only half the work by turning on symmetry. Of course there are many advantages to traditional sculpting as well.

1 more difrens is time :P irl it takes more time

Another year adds another wrinkle to our faces.

wow this video makes me sad about age and time

arcilla polimerica? polimeri clay?

Wow - it would be amazing to create any of these faces with such apparent ease, but the "live 4D" sculpting is very clever...

Stop making it look so easy! It's really hard

At the end, he looks like John Lock in Lost !

It shows a handsome boy how getting old......

I'm truly amazed and inspired by your work. I see myself developing another hobby that I can share with my kids.

Philippe Faraut has truly understood the aging process!

arcilla polimerica? polimeri clay?

Well some is easier for some people. Personally physicall sculpting would be easier for me because im very hands on
