  • 🐉 Welcome to my channel!
    In this video, I'll guide you through the mesmerizing process of sculpting a dragon mug, just in time for the Year of the Dragon starting on Feb 10th. Dragons, symbols of strength, good luck, wisdom, and protection, have inspired cultures worldwide. Join me as I blend artistry and functionality in this unique creation.
    00:16
    🌀 Starting with my signature mandala at the base, I carve intricate patterns resembling scales or rock formations. Whether handbuilding or wheel throwing, the choice is yours. Watch as I shape the dragon's head, block out facial features, and add expressive details like eyes, cheekbones, and nostrils.
    02:52
    🦇 Sculpting the wings involves creating guide lines for skeletal structure, carving the wing detail and ensuring symmetry. Learn the art of attaching wings seamlessly to achieve a natural, flowing movement around the mug. Discover how I add horns and scales, giving the dragon mug character and a touch of fantasy.
    06:36
    🖌️ The sculpting process involves using various tools, from loop tools for details to ball point tools for scale patterns. Follow along as I share insights into anatomy, musculature, and the creative freedom to contribute to the collective imagination.

    It’s not that I can’t make a dragon mug. Just it won’t look like a ‘dragon’ mug. 😅
