Sketch to Sculpt 2: How I (unexpectedly) made a new figure
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- I set out to sculpt a "professional-looking" figure. Things changed, I used a different sculpting material, and I wound up liking the not-polished, handmade version even more.

Hearing "Hello, and welcome to the Crafsman show. My name is your host...The Crafsman" will soothe your soul no matter how catawampus your week has been.
#Truth!
Literally bingeing these to try and calm down from a horrible day
When you get a thumbs DOWN before the video even premieres... that's how you KNOW. LOL! ;)
It's official 😁 aww snap! ❤️
A lot of people don't like the Premiere feature. Preset viewing times is too much like TV.
You done made it!
That’s how you know you’ve made it!
@@evilutionltd Truth. I tried, but came in at 15min. You have to sit and wait for a premier. Not very convenient.
That said, TheCrafsMan gets an upvote anyways, since I get to watch it again.
The Crafsman blew my mind right near the beginning of the video:
“I don’t think I have done a single thing in my life that has turned out exactly how I wanted it to. But we just compromise, and we be happy with it.”
Because this morning in my journal, I wrote this:
“I don’t think anything I’ve ever made is exactly the thing I intended when I set out to make it. And that’s OK.”
Everybody: what’s important is that you’re making something!
Dale Messinger My mother used to sew and she’d say “Every mistake is a new fashion!”☺️
Crafsman... For Christmas you might could read a Christmas story to us!
Blahblah Blah oh man I’d love that!!!
This is the first comment I have EVER given a Like to. This is a truly great idea.
That would get all Christmassy up-in-heah.
Yes!!! This!!! So much this!!
Yes. Yes thousand times
"If you froze up, nothing shows up" - Masterclass in life from The Crafsman
If you want to get a smooth finish with Sculpey, bake it for 8 to 10 minutes (instead of 15 to 20) let it cool, then sand it while it’s not 100% hardened. Then go back and finish baking it with it’s new smoothness (:
I have some videos on my channel on how I do it. It’s a lot easier to sand before it’s at its completely baked and hardened. Hope you can see this and it helps a bit! Thank you for the lovely videos! ✨💕
SRabbit Work you mean its new smoothnicity! 😉
That's a nifty tip! Thanks for sharing.
He's become so big that he premiers his video's. Im proud
Mannn, thank you! But honestly I just saw the little "Premiere" switch option recently and tried it. LOL! This is the 2nd premiere I've done, but this one has a longer notice.
I'm pretty small, but I still premiere a lot of my stuff lol
"... This came from Chernobyls."
Crafsman, I'm dying!
Yeah that tends to happen in Chernobyl
I was totally surprised when Tom Selleck showed up at the end!
I can't get enough of your voice. I listen to you as I work to relax and relieve stress.
Everyone else: Link in the description
CrafsMan: You don't need to go buy one of these tho..
Right?! I loved how he used cards, I've stacked canvas panels. Funny how something so simple is also ingenious.
The Craftsman is the Bob Ross of crafts! Lol like that right thur..
Cajun Bob Ross of nerdcrafts
Lidatrider.. lol. I love when he says that!
Love seeing all those supporters grow and grow at the end! So happy for all your success and the success to come ❤️
The real question is does Crafs Momma like the mustache?
The music, the moustache...man, you are hitting the big time! Asymmetrical eyes...your trademark! I giggled out loud when I saw that. Hugs for you and craftmama. xox
I love that frog! The way his torso is now makes me think he's wearing a t-shirt like a '50s greaser
Don't even look at those thumbs down crafsman! those peoples mouse ain't working right and they clicked that on accident. I Love your show, and thank you for sharing your insight and humor. You are like the Bob Ross of crafting!
Comment and Thumbs up before the Live starts 🙌🏽 That's how much we love you CrafsMan! 💖💖💖
This guy has a ton of character already, can't wait to see what final details you add.
The CraftsMan is the modern day Bob Ross. Intelligent, funny, talented and encouraging. Thanks for your videos!
I shall dub him the "toad warrior"
Love the stache & the card trick. I will use it with pride & throw your name in every time I do it. Thanks, Crafsman! Got a bunch of ideas & inspiration from this video. :D
Crafsman! I love your channel, always inspires me whenever I see a video of yours.
This means a lot to me.
Hey crafsman! Your videos are amazing and I appreciate what you do. I have severe depression and your videos provide me a relieve from the self loathing and scary thoughts I have far too often. Your approach to art and life, your amazing videos, and your soothing voice have gotten me through many dark times.
Thank you for being such a great personality and beacon of light and hope! Thank you for all you do.
Love you... drops, blunders, mustaches and all. Stay Steady!
I just ADORE everything you do! I especially love your sense of humor and your little bits of wisdom! The world is a better place because YOU are in it. “I love y’all!” ❤️
Sweet! New Crafsman video on my birthday! Its like a gift!
When I see all those different heads drawn all up in your book, it gets me thinkin’ bout one word:
GLYOS!
(Anyone else find themselves talking/typing like CrafsMan after you watch one (or ten) or his videos? I call it “The CrafsMan Effect”)
(It’s like the Butterfly effect, but with CrafsMan...)
Volt the Robot All. The. Time.
I have had his voice as my inner dialogue since i first met him. Y'know
This video is a great example of one of the most important ideas I learned in my journey to become an artist, which is not to try to take the art somewhere, but to let the art take you somewhere. In other words, when you are too focused on trying to capture the idea you had pictured in your mind you will inevitably create something stiff and less joyful and flowing, but if you just let your mind play, the creativity will start bringing out ideas from your unconscious you never knew where in your head at all. It took me many years to reach that point where I felt comfortable enough to trust my own instincts and loosen up, to let the art just evolve into its own thing, but the work is pretty much always more satisfying in that way.
Crafsman it is 9:30pm in North AL and we just got home from watching my daughter cheer at a basketball game... I've worked, helped with homework, done 10 millions things.... Your video makes it so easy to unwind.... It's relaxing, funny and useful! Thankful for you and your timely videos!!! 🎥
"Miscellaneous misbehaviors" ...loved that!
This is the most wholesome and informative thing I've seen all day, bless your souls Mr. Craftsman
Awwww, thank you so much!
Thanks for the laughter this morning crafsman! You're a jewel in this world ❤
That idea for making the belt as a single piece was brilliant sir, I don't know how many I've made that just didn't look right. Thank you Crafsman, you have inspired me to get my next model going ASAP.
Your honestly such a genuine person like everything you say is so true and inspiring.
Hello crafsman as an art student I relate to your sketchbook problem.
A easier solution i have found is starting from the middle or the back(depending on how it is bound together) so if you dont like drawing you can take the page out.
This also let's you test the paper if you are using inks or paint to see how it reacts.
That Precise pen 8s 9ne 9f my favorites 9f all time. Pardon my th7mb. I really like using those Sakura Pigma Micron (thats a long name) as well. Thank you CrafsMan, your videos are a blessing. I have only recently found your channel and very much appreciate what you do. Bless you and yall.
I've been watching this video so long the dude presenting it has gone and grown himself a mustache!
Time sure flies when you are enjoying yourself.
I have the flu right now and I'm marathoning your videos to make me feel better.
Your voice is medicinal, Crafsman. Thank you
Hot & sour soup from a chinese take out place. Burns the gunk out ! ;)
@@m.maclellan7147 thank you!
@@CashMoneyCrane Hope you feel better soon !
This has been the MOST important video in my life, in a long while! You really made me feel like all my crazy methods aren't so crazy... down to sculpting in random parts. I love this!
@@nateman10 Kit bashing?
These are fantastic tips for getting my rusty imagination back up and running! Thank you, Craftsman. Sincerely.
You never fail to entertain Crafsman. I think that the figure looks just like the Crafsman puppet. That’s the next toy you should make. Steady craft’n.
Craftsman the story of your new figure hits home with me. It is very similar to the direction my life has taken. Also yesterday I sculpted on a custom figure myself for the first time. Your videos are what inspired me to try it so it is ironic that today this video is on RUclips. Thank you for all your hard work and great videos.
You are so chill and so entertaining that I can use your videos to fall asleep and I don't let any low quality stuff carry me to Dreamland.
Though Julia Child still narrates my kitchen escapades, CrafsMan has become my inner voice, narrating my own steady craftin. All right.
Thanks CrafsMan! I enjoy watching your work process and I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who goes all catawampus.
That was just GREAT! I love how you show how to try a little bit of this and a little bit of that, and sort of stumble into something that you might not have planned originally, but ends up even better than you'd thought! Again, what you do makes MORE people feel like they can just start playing around with materials, let their whimsy flow, and be happily surprised when something emerges that's amazing. You're opening up so many doors for folks. And by the way: 1) The extra bits aren't a waste---they'll find their way into some other clever idea; 2) Your paper sketches are just as fun to look at as the 3-D stuff you make; and 3) I'm JUST like you with those fancy journals--I'm scared to write in them and mess them up! Thanks for the smiles and encouragement today.
Honestly, watching someone who barely knows what they’re doing is more encouraging than watching a master. Happy accidents and all that. Just roll with it until you figure it out.
Life lessons from the Crafsman... plan all you want ya’ll, but the best stuff sometimes happens when you’re just piddlin’ around in the kitchen. ❤️
I really want a crafsman sketbook print/artbook! The sketches looked amazing!
unexpected digressions are sometimes the most fun and entertaining adventures. You just keep on living your best life CrafsMan.
I really like this premiere thing!
It was a blast! Thank Y'ALL for making it fun!
@@TheCrafsMan No, thank YOU!
That music! AWESOME! Plus another wonderful video. I always learn something from the crafsman!
A wise woman once told me, “Don’t make yourself wrong for your process.” Most people seem to think that artists know exactly what they want to accomplish and exactly how to accomplish it and videos like this are wonderful in helping to inform the opposite of that assumption.
If your job was to only make sculptures and not any of the other ten thousand amazingly creative things you do, then you might have a “professional” process that you follow with little variation . (which to me would be kinda boring....)
Also, your Sculpty piece need not be the final result. It can be a study/sketch to inform the process where you later create another piece using the individual components.
(And when you are mega mega mega famous that original sculpture will be worth a million dollars. 😁)
Many thanks and much love for all that you do. Keep on craftin’!
TheCrafsMan always puts a smile on my face...Thanks CrafsMan!
This man is a national treasure. Love the mustache by the way.
The video that first introduced me to this channel, remember watching this back in 2019 like it was yesterday.
Never Ending Story turtle "We don't even care...whether or not we care."
Morla!
I like your mustache, Mr. Crafsman! Keep being the coolest! Thank you for the card trick imma go practice ♡
I could watch and listen to you all day.
Love this channel
This is like having cartoons on Saturday morning, then having more suddenly show up on Wednesday too. Happy surprise.
I want him! I need him! He’s adorbs❤️🐸.
@TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin - My little brother, Ryanator312, introduced me to your videos and ever since then I have loved tuning in to your show! I am a creative person as well and your videos are such and inspiration! Please do another video premiere in the future! He was at school and he really wanted to send you some positivity live but he wasn’t able to tune in until the very end. Thank you for everything and much love from my brother and I!
I sincerely appreciate you and your brother! I'm sorry he missed the premiere! I hope to do another one soon, and will maybe try to do it toward the end of the day.
TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin thank you sir you rock!
thank you thank you thank you so much for not shouting or screaming in your video like many other youtubers
Your videos make me happy Crafsman. Peaceful. I need peaceful.
You are so right about cheap notebooks. I can never draw in a fancy sketch book. Don't even think about one that is hard bound!
Those cheap notebooks are perfect for sketching ideas. A few weeks ago, I decided to finally do something with my sketches. Thanks for sharing your creative process! It's fun to watch!
Your voice has such an ASMR quality to it
Love your videos
Never realized how much I loved figures until I found you
Thanks for what you do
Thanks for the card trick! And I love the mustache!
Honestly, I just enjoy the work you do. I enjoy watching the process, the calm of your voice is very reminiscent of the likes of Bob Ross.
In response to your comment about professionalism.
You are a professional in what you do Craft.
You create these amazing single figurines and thats inspiring and you do it with such honesty and that makes you more relatable than most youtube content out there.
I hope you will keep moving forward with your content you are just a delight and every time you update its a moment of excitement for me. - N
Thank you for all of your videos. ^^ These are such inspiring mood boosters, I really appreciate all the love radiating from everything you make.
Thank you your host the craftsman. You are very inspiring!!! Again thank you
Dowel rods also work well for rolling consistent thickness. Really enjoy this video I keep re-watching it.
Love you Crafsman. We’d all like to meet you one day.
Just want you to know, i found you searching for crafting/DIY stuff about a month ago and i love all your videos. You are hilarious and super informative. Makes me want to try some of these things out.
When you gonna make some vending machine toys Crafsman we need miniature free range chickens.
Not everyone can pull off a mustache, but Crafsman is looking suave. I'd name that style the Gentleman Caller.
Please make more videos like this. I love seeing your process in your steady crafing
Thank you CrafsMan for the inspiration. I think I will try to sculpt something. SteadyCraftin!
"Lok thot rot tha" I love your videos so much. You're so positive.
Your voice is so relaxing, when I watch your videos it feels like educational ASMR
It totally looks professional! I know how hard it is to do fine detailing in clay, what you do is really impressive!
Frog and Toad agree to never visit Hordak's house again.
Crafsman, the sketch to sculpts of your original characters are probably some of the most satisfying moments on RUclips.
Thank You for sharing them (seriously).
Kinda ironic you roughed it out in Epoxy Sculpt then made the final in Sculpey.
Anyone recognize what Safety Solvent is? It smells a little familiar.
I loved seeing your creative process! It helps me let go and find my own style. Thanks!!
I’m bingeing your videos right now, and learning a LOT!👏☺️
I totally get the not wanting to sully pristine fancy notebooks with any old scribblings. I fought with this too but more or less got over it by using a cheap fountain pen and cheerful ink colour, and taking it slow and neat as I write. Now I feel happy looking back over my notes...
The notebook. I relate so much. I never realised I do this.
I own about 8 nice notebooks that are mostly empty. I have about as many cheap ones, often free from event's or scavved off someone else 🤣 they're full of doodles, designs, notes etc.
No more buying nice notebooks for me!
Your video brightened my day, especially when you showed your clay character, I could tell it came from your heart and that shows. Thank you!
You put a smile on my face. Thank you.
You’re awesome! I dig your perspective. So chill.
Crafsman EXPLODIN’. Look at all these folks!
Craftsman, please make something out of those spare parts. You have a few characters that will never come to life without you.
1:41 that is actually such an inspirational quote right there
The 4 dislikes must be some cold people. I can't comprehend not liking these videos. Your content is so calming, and I smile throughout the whole video. Thank you Crafsman.
Getting major Bob Ross vibes from this guy, keep at it man
Ok now we talkin" Crafs Man! I like watching you sculpt. :D
You've become a big inspiration for me, I haven't really sculpted or casted anything yes but I'm getting crafting stuff soon and I'd love sharing some stuff with you
Came home for lunch and found a new CrafsMan video. Best lunch ever.
those are the best pens ever. archival ink and a treat to sketch with
I love your channel so much, and my wife has recently started watching you too. keep on keepin on!
