    I really like your videos, they are very helpful.
    Here I would like to point out you can clearly see it's a female face BEFORE you even add the eyes and other details (4:20)... AND also at the very end when you remove those features again 😮😉
    I need to focus on that more in my own sculptures: to go strictly from big shapes to details and not skip back and forth 😬

      Hey thanks! yeah I think beginners often neglect the overall structure of the head and that's actually where a lot of the likeness comes from.

      This is a bit smaller than life size but I'd say about 6lbs for life size. depending on how much of an armature you build inside the sculpture of course.

  • @brapperdan
    @brapperdan 5 місяців тому +2

    This seems way more difficult than starting with a block and removing clay. You ever do it that way? I wanted to try sculpting but this way seems very difficult

    • @AndrewJosephKeith
      @AndrewJosephKeith  5 місяців тому +2

      I find it to be the exact opposite. By starting with a block and removing clay there are thousands of landmarks and features to locate and triangulate but by starting out focusing on only one thing at a time (the side profile for example) it's much easier to accurately capture that and then you can use that to locate the other features and start to triangulate the other forms of the portrait.
      Portrait sculpting is difficult no matter what but by breaking it into these steps that are more formulaic I've found that students are better able to more accurately represent the portrait.
      It might be worth an experiment though and you could try both methods and see what works best for you.

    There different types of the clay you are using : soft, medium, hart. Which one do you use?

    • @AndrewJosephKeith
      @AndrewJosephKeith  4 місяці тому

      I use the medium (though I prefer a little firmer so I actually mix 1/4 hard and 3/4 parts medium. but most people would probably prefer the medium.)

    • @AndrewJosephKeith
      @AndrewJosephKeith  7 місяців тому +1

      Glad you found it! There's definitely advantages and disadvantages to different types of clay so it depends on what you want your workflow to be. For mold making I like a non-drying modeling clay like Chavant NSP medium. For baking in a normal oven I'll sculpt with aluminum foil and then finish with polymer clay like sculpey, and if you have access to a kiln then natural clay like terracotta can work great for portraits so you can fire them and have a finished sculpture as hard as stone. Let me know if you have other questions! @@breenafain4531
