    Looking at your art upside down is so important and I wish more novice artists would take that one piece of advice with them! It’s so helpful

    As someone who has been trying to sculpt for years and getting frustrated with perfectionism or wishing to jump ahead to details and texture- you make this look and sound so easy Nick...

    • @ModulusProps
      @ModulusProps  3 роки тому +3

      Thank you! I definitely find myself jumping ahead too soon sometimes, but I've been learning to just let the sculpt exist in that "ugly" in-between stage before I really start dialing in the details.

    Thank you for this video. I discovered Monster Clay and am using it to sculpt figures to animate on my cuckoo clocks. (The eagle in my avatar Old Glory Cuckoo Clock I sculpted large, then scanned and 3D printed it at the size I needed to be the cuckoo in the clock.) Learned a lot from this video, both tools and techniques that has boosted me up the learning curve. Again. thank you!

    • @ModulusProps
      @ModulusProps  2 роки тому +1

      Thank you! The clay warming box is just a plain old storage box I found on Amazon. The model is no longer available but you can probably find something similar. I just layered the inside with insulation foam and mounted a light bulb socket in the back with a dimmer switch to control the heat.

      @@ModulusProps I’m back again! I made my first mask however I didn’t build away from my form like you did, so it’s definitely a tight fit. I came back to ask how you achieved the mold with your mask being away from the form at the cheeks and ears and then I saw this comment. Do you have any video or pictures of how you did the two part mold on this type of creation? I’m having a really hard time visualizing how it would be done. Front and back or side and side?

      @@Remayre I'll eventually have a video about the process. It's basically just a mold of the front and then a mold of the back. The dividing line is along the outside edge of the mask. You need to build a temporary clay wall around the edge when making the first half.
