    I am a long time sculptor and watch different sculptors' video. I really like your's and I find it interest in that good sculptors reach the same end by different techniques. Hope you are doing more videos. Thanks

    Thanks you’ve restored my confidence, I’ve been working on a small bust that’s taken two months now. It’s very a well known person and I was getting bogged down, losing the will to live. It’s a good thing to never think of it as a finished item until you have finished chopping and adding and can do no more

      I've been working on.. off and on, on a bust of a friend who passed away... You should check my page... Terry Connor is his name... I started it in May and going to finish it this next week... I've been sculpting since 1965... I still get slowed down... Oh I lost the vision in my right eye in March... and the left wasn't very good either... I got hit with Bell's Palsy in March... the left side of my face was paralyzed.. I have muscles working now again... Pretty much fully recovered..
      Sometimes we work under extremes... I've been where you are... Years ago I was asked to do a bronze of John Wayne... by his son... Man that was a hard one to do.. trying to capture his spirit... I know the frustration... I was almost done with the clay when I was notified that they decided to go with a cheaper sculptor... lol.. so I never finished it.

    I'm not sure why but I found the smacking of the head hilarious. I literally burst into laughter! But yes, when you're tired you do have to walk away and I'm an amature and I know that. Super job! The talent made me able to sit through the annoying music. Well done Mr. Lemon!

    @KissMyChristin It never hardens. It's always soft. It would burn or melt if high heat were applied. I have my work cast into bronze, making a mold of laytex rubber. It's not like sculpty, or ceramic clay.

    Very instructive, especially all the measuring and checking of proportions in relation to the centre line.

  • @wendy152000
    @wendy152000 12 лет назад

    Forgot to ask you. What clay are you using in this video and why did you choose it. It looks like it is really easy to work. Do you fire your work to bronze? I use waterbase clay. Have plasteline but am reluctant to use it. It seems to be too sticky. Any suggestions?

    Ha, a good point..."Getting tired of it." "...then you start tearing it apart." - one of those hidden 'gems' to listen for during such tutorial videos (TY). Not something you'd catch/read in a manual.
    I am back looking at your videos as I am itching to do a bust - local female acquaintance - natural beauty. Want to broaden my skills...
    Q: What is the scale of this? 1/2 Scale? and 2nd question: Your use of tru-form armatures - is it one size fits all (Male/Female)?
    The above comments/questions are just an excuse...just like to watch you work. Trying to 'GROK' (Robert Heinlein term) your methodology/process to incorporate/learn as I develop my skills. You definitely are an inspiration.
    Hope this comment finds you well.

    • @clayguy1
      @clayguy1  8 лет назад

      +PJ Hershey Muscles a bit sore.. spring cleaning pain... lol
      I am not sure what the scale was.. I picked a size and went forward with it.. As you say... real life isn't a manual it's living it and doing.
      Make your armature ... ask the young lady to sit for you.. see what happens.. Life is life
      The figure armature is a mix of male and female.. the shoulders are male wide.. you can just work that out.. the hips are female.. just trim them...

    • @clayguy1
      @clayguy1  5 лет назад

      Sometimes a couple of hours.. or days.. I did a bust of Custer years ago... it took me a month..

  • @clayguy1
    @clayguy1  13 лет назад

    @KissMyChristin It's an oil based clay called J-mac (medium hardness) You can also get great clay from Chavant.

    @urielforero1837 8 лет назад

    Beautiful work. (first of all excuse my English, I am from Colombia) I have a question: what kind of clay are you using in this video? I ask because it seems different from the traditional.
    thanks for helping those who want to take our first steps in this beautiful world of Scuplture.

    • @clayguy1
      @clayguy1  8 лет назад

      +Simon Forero Flawless English... you speak it very good.
      I was using J-Mac here. It's a Plasticine clay... I know Chavant has distributers all over the world... They're great Plasticine clay.. In fact a Frenchman invited the clay back in the 1890 and they've been producing the clay since then.
      chavant.com/new_site/index.html
      J-Mac can be purchase and Chavant can be bought here.. sculpturedepot.net
      I hope this helps.. the clays never dry... or harden... I take my clays to a foundry to be cast in bronze
