Sculpting looks really cool. I always wanted to dive into another medium other than digital drawing or pencil/pen. I've done painting time to time, but it never really struck to me. When I remembered sculpting, I felt excited. I'm personally a huge fan of anatomy studies and basically anything body related. I'm going to try sculpting out
I love the paperclip. You get this with painting too: first time painters spending excessive amounts on things like 'professional' wooden palettes and artist smocks from the victorian era.
I’m super late to join this challenge; however, I would like to give it a shot. I’ve never attempted to sculpt myself. I did help a young woman a couple decades ago. She was working on a full dragon sculpture. I helped with the dragon scales & its face. I took a couple throwing classes mainly to have access to the glazes & kiln. I had my wheel. It was in a corner of my kitchen. Now it is in a tiny lawnmower shed that we’ve managed to squeak out enough room for my wheel, a table, a couple of shelves, & space for a hot plate & microwave. I brought pots I’d made at home to class. We did a couple pit fires in the classes, but I was out at the time when the overnight firing took place. I had a lupus flare attack that left me bedridden for almost a month. I had several pieces in the pit firing though. The professor fired them for me. Unknown to me, he sent photos of several pieces of my work to a panel of judges looking for local Native American art. My great-grandfather was Cherokee (his late first wife was Choctaw). He taught me to throw pottery on a kick wheel that he modified for my short legs. Much of what I made back then were pieces that matched the style & glazing I was taught as a child. Later, the pieces I made as an adult was my way of bringing my family’s culture & past forward. My professor gave me the letter requesting permission to display my work in a gallery that was showcasing local Native American art. I quite literally broke down in tears. My one hope was that my great-grandfather & my grams were proud of me. It was my art, but it was the legacy they began. My daughters are very artistic; however, neither of them have an interest in pottery. I’m the last of five generations. Is it possible to use stoneware? I throw pottery on a ( Shimpo RK Whisper) pottery wheel. Most of the clay I have on hand is stoneware. I have B Mix with grog, WC 393, Little Loafers (Highwater), & some dark mid-cone clay that initially came from Hobby Lobby. I have some Half & Half (Laguna) too. The half & half is still very wet. It needs to be reclaimed & wedged. I have a question I hope you can answer. Does the packing and/or armature wire need to be removed prior to firing in a kiln? Again, I have never dabbled in sculpting.
This video is so great. Super entertaining and informative. I am definitely inspired to learn how to make sculptures! I love the Proko challenge. You have a new fan for sure!
I got that plastalina from the beginning of the video/thumbnail from the Dollar TREE... it's 7 oz (200g) for $1!!! well worth it for junk practice clay
Yeah I love that clay! works great! I like to take out the dark blue, dark green, dark purple, and black and melt everything else together to make brown for sculpting.
Cool. I'm interested. Clay seems to be surprisingly difficult to find where I live but there is this foamy, play-doh-like stuff. That could be interesting.
@@AndrewJosephKeith that's literally what I do and how I got into sculpturing and when I finally bought the actual clay I didn't enjoy it as much so I stopped for a long while and now that I'm using what I gather when I go to the country side I feel much lighter and I enjoy the process more but I think I should give regular clay another chance xD
This looks cool, I might get into it using cheaper materials as you've suggested. I have a question for Proko 3D, will there be a digital sculpting course anytime soon? P.S the instructor seems like a chill and fun guy, cheers
Just Subbed, I love Proko, and My Arts become Great cause y'all, I'd like to learn Sculpting and I'd love to Make unique Garden Gnomes. Could yall make a Tutorial on Clay Gnomes???
Wheres the pictures of models? I couldnt find the link in the below can someone tell me the link? I did write on the internet but couldnt find it as well

I was interested in sculpture but once I found out much it costs to have sculptures cast in bronze I didn't see the point in going to anymore glasses. Good luck being a sculptor if you're not born rich.
@@beanstaIkjack - all of the above! Well, not so much strict portraits, and my abstract work is pretty limited, but I do a lot of figurative work, and a little functional pottery. See tryonsculpturearts.com .
Hey everyone! I’ll be judging the Proko challenge on June 30th. You can submit your assignments to be judged here - proko.com/523
Where can we see the results of the judging? I somehow missed that.
Just gonna watch, hoping this will spark a new drive for sculpture

Sounds like me. Painting is cool but it doesn't grab me for some reason. Sculpting totally just gets it
Glad to hear it! Sculpting is where it's at!
2:00 He has a point.

Glad this was made and I love his work that he posts on Instagram.
We need more of Andrew!
Why thank you! With this course you’ll get more! 😆

Thank you sir, for getting idia about regular house hold items for making suculpture tools ❤
I love this video because I’m always quick to overspend on materials on a new hobby I typically end up hating

omg you are just like proko but with a black background
?
I got that plastalina from the beginning of the video/thumbnail from the Dollar TREE... it's 7 oz (200g) for $1!!! well worth it for junk practice clay
Yeah that’s exactly where I got the clay! Works great and I actually like it better than some more expensive types of clay I’ve tried.

Yeah whatever is available! I’ve even seen videos on making your own water clay from the earth.

I thought this was gonna be digital and I was confused because Blender is free.
Zoomers....
Not a flex
Hope these hve latest uploads as well been into sculpting lately
1:22 look at that strength
Stronger than the average artist.
Can I use a Popsicle stick for a tool and carve the end to the shape I want? ;-)
Yes absolutely!
Love from Philippines
2:13
That's why i will make only 2 of those and try to make the 2nd one worst, so the 1st will be my best.
Amazing video bro
I really like your attitude
I hope you keep teaching us 🙏🏽
Thanks!

Hey there was just a 3D digital video by another artist. I’ll probably be focusing mostly on traditional sculpting methods for now though.
Finally
Oh yeah!
👍👍👍👍👍👍Just wonderful insturtor.....❤❤❤❤❤
Awww shucks
I just bought air dry clay, I already have brushes, waters, cups and acrylic paints 😭

where is the reference pictures link?
the pinned comment has a Proko link- there you'll find a download tab that has a zip of the model images
@@charnich thanks much!
Thanks my sir
7:11 Damn...
Wheres the pictures of models? I couldnt find the link in the below can someone tell me the link? I did write on the internet but couldnt find it as well
You can find the photos under the lesson on Proko - www.proko.com/course-lesson/how-to-start-sculpting-on-a-budget/downloads
I'll come back to this video once I buy some clay 😅
Hope you do! And the other videos too!
What happened 3 yrs later?
Help, can't find the link to the photos. Did anyone found it?

Great vid
im sorry him just mixing the plastecine was a crime
Instead of a wooden board can I sculpt a platform out of clay?
Yeah people do that all the time.
chavant clay is not avalabile anymore, any suggestion?
I want to take part but I have never tried my hands on any sculpture work and am from poor background and I can't afford any tool
Don't use tools! Just your hands. You can even make natural clay from dirt. There's no excuse not to get started.
Lol you’re funny , thanks
😂😂😂 yes ...some of us would like to save the money
I hear ya!
Did I just see spirit fingers 👐 😅
Where can I get reference photo
in the course there is a place where you can download 10 poses for free. proko.com/sculpture
2:55 I’m a tool :(
you are bold. you're meant to encourage people to not quit after one sculpture.
Thanks for the video. I just want a "taste" of this hobbie. 🤔
chido (cool in Spanish) 👍UwU.)
Great work sir ❤️❤️🔥🎉 #artistmurlinath
Thanks!
Thank you peter Parker 😉
most efficient tool is: hand
the guy that was born without it: ...
:D

There are a lot of materials other than bronze. I actually use natural clay and kiln fire it.
@@CharlesTryon Do you sculpt portraits , statues, abstract art or pottery?
@@beanstaIkjack - all of the above! Well, not so much strict portraits, and my abstract work is pretty limited, but I do a lot of figurative work, and a little functional pottery. See tryonsculpturearts.com .
@@CharlesTryon Thank you, nice work!
