Head Sculpture Part-1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- In this head sculpture, I'm using 1/2" PVC pipes as armature and using some foam sheets as filler. I'm using Roma Plastilina #2 Gray Green oil based clay. I'm also using laser line for measuring and indicating center-line. I learned the use of the lase from a UA-cam video by "BaileyBlade". Check his channel for more useful instructions.
Sorry not to speak your language. I find your very enriching video because we learn(teach) by looking at her(it). I sculpture the wood but I have never practised the clay and by looking at you it tempts me to try. Then thank you again to you and continue with other videos.

Désolé de ne pas parler votre langue. Je trouve votre vidéo très enrichissante car nous apprenons en la regardant. Je sculpte le bois mais je n'ai jamais pratiqué l'argile et en vous regardant cela me donne envie d'essayer. Alors encore merci à vous et continuer avec d'autres vidéos.

Thank you for your comments! I'm glad these videos were helpful to you. You will find sculpting with clay is very therapeutic.
clay is very easy to handle as compared to wood, stone or marble.
What an incredibly relaxing video to watch. I definitely preferred it with no sound. I wish I had the room for a studio. My main medium is digital and would love to go back to traditional and start sculpting. Thank you for sharing!
Omg you make it look so easy the tools you use really helps to save your time, i should have those tools too
Thank you for your kind comments! Right tools are a must. :)
You are welcome and thank you for your comments! I agree with you. I too prefer to watch many of the UA-cam videos without noise! I think you should. You'll find it therapeutic. :)
I like the idea that your have made a big head instead of a little model and it is easier to make it affective
idk theres something super calming about watching this ahah
Gwen Evans lol...Thank you for your comments! :)
Wow! You guys have greate ideas! Thanks! I think this first part may have taken about 2-3 hours.
beautiful
.. we are sculpting heads in my art class..
But yours...
Is so magesticly artisticly amazing.
+Bebe Shybug that is very kind of you to say that. Thank you! :)
+3DworlD2 Haha you're welcome.
Amazing! I am 13, being very interested in art, especially sculpting and this helped me out heaps to improve my sculpting.
Thank you for your comments!
It's nice to see younger people are getting interested in sculpting. Keep on sculpting!
Thanks! The one I have done with oil clay stays soft, but if you want it hard, you'll have to use something like air dry clay.
That is amazing. It makes me think about and wonder how WE were designed!
+Rit Man well, I think most likely we were Evolved, rather than designed.
Thank you so much. Your video helped a lot. I will watch the other parts also...
Marvelous....video
There is really noting to prepare except warming the clay so it is easer to sculpt. I usually slice the clay into about 1/2" slices and set them under a lamp. The heat from the lamp will make the clay a bit softer.

Very very helpful,Thanks a lot
You're welcome. :)
absolutely wonderful. By the way: thanks for NOT adding sound. Wish more tutoriasls on youtube dropped the noise...
The sketching part goes quick, but as the sculpture develops, it takes longer and longer. I think the whole thing took a bout a week, a few hours a day.
Awesome, thank you very much! From Córdoba, Argentina
Hello from Texas! Thank you! :)
Right cheek bone check. I love to add the Sean Connery line that runs threw the cheek and underneath the chin. It looks like a big smile etched into ones' face. Happy Halloween!
Thanks! Happy Halloween!
wow ! just wow, that was amazing.
Thank you! :)
FELICIDADES, MUY INTERESANTE SU OBRA,, YO ESPERO APRENDER UN POCO MAS...
SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO
+carlos moreno Greetings! Thank you for your comments! :)
+Ryan Zasadny This was sculpted using Roma Plasticina.
3DworlD2 You're amazing! Total inspiration!
Jamie Todd Thank you, you are very kind! :)
+LEOGTLEO Thank you for your comments! I'm not sure how many types of clay there are. I have worked with Air Dry clay and oil base clay. I like to work with oil based clay, because it won't dry out and the best one for the price for me has been J-Mac Clay. You can purchase it from Amazon.
+Calcipher Cartographer No, this is an oil based clay and cannot be fired.
+Calcipher Cartographer The oil based clay is not cured. It always stays soft.
This is so fascinating.... cant wait to do this soon! :)
I used that line laser to mark the center of the sculpture for symmetry proposes. The laser device is sold at "Harbor Freight Tools" and it is for circular saws for cutting straight line. It was about $5.00.
it is very helpfull for me thank you
You are welcome.
Hi
I am an artist and did my first sculpture today and it came out 100% perfect. While i was watching some videos like this to learn I realised there is a need for a invention to help sculptors. I am therefore looking for a pro who is interested in having a new device developed and marketed in their name this. I have over 200 invention ideas and am working on a dozen big projects so I do not have time to chase anything like this myself. It may benefit sculptors if the device is not already in the market. If you are interested then let me know.
👏👏👏🙌welldone
Thank you 🙌
Thank you for your comments! Get some oil based clay to sculpt. I would suggest J-Mac clay. Check out Amazon for it and also get a basic sculpting tool set. You can learn a lot by watching free UA-cam videos, but if you want to spent money, there are many sculpting DVDs. For example: Instructional DVDs by Philippe Faraut, Mark Alfrey's Sculpting the Human Head, Sculpting Expression and Fantasy Characters with John Brown.
Thank you for your comments! You are right, this clay stays soft. I have used Air Dry Clay that gets hard, but it shrinks. So if you have an armature inside it could cause some cracking.
Thanks! I use oil based clay that stays soft and it is not fired.
Great tutorial! Thanks man!
+Julia Allen
You are welcome!
un verdadero Artista!!!!..hay que nacer ...esto no se aprende
Wilfredo Rodriguez Thank you for your comments! You are very kind to think that! Cheers! :)
Pure astonishing. How do you actually get started to do all this?! There are so many tutorials and materials I wouldn't know where to begin! Amazing work! I am going to have to try and get into sculpting, as I have always excited the idea of making busts of myself.
Thank you! If you are using FireFox, there is an addon that downloads videos you choose.
@69sifu Thanks. I'm using Roma Plastilina #2 Gray Green Clay.
very nice sculpture for me
Thank You! :)
this is masterpiece!... how to make it strength? since you said it will never dry.
hey....awesome art from u.....but can u till me What is the material used??
I use clay, when used fire هits cracks
wonderful
Thank you!🙂
Fantástico!!!!, me gustaría saber cuanto tiempo le llevo hacer este rostro!
Thank you! I think it took about a couple of weeks working on it on and off.
Impressive 😍
Thank you!
Oh my God! This tutorial says more than other videos and anyone's talking! a really good job and probably when I get more clay I will ask you for help (maybe) :P
***** lol... Thank you for your kind and encouraging comments! :)
3DworlD2 as expected I need your help!!.. I sculpted fast without problems but only one problem made my job very difficult. the clay I used, hardened very faster. I worked for 1.30h and it started to be hard after 1 hour. Did you have the same problem or you used another type of clay? or maybe there are some tips to make the clay not become harder.
P.S. sorry for bad english I'm italian and sorry for the ignorance but I'm really beginner!! :)
***** No problem, you can ask any question, I may not have all the answers :). I don't sculpt with Air Dry Clay often just for that reason. It is very hard to keep the clay from drying while you are deciding what to do next. You could do some of these suggestions; Don't sculpt in front of a windy spot, keep the clay moist by spraying water on it with a spry bottle every so often, As soon as you will need to take a brake from sculpting, cover the sculpture with a plastic and seal it. I prefer to sculpt with Oil Based Clay that stays soft for ever.
thanks a lot! I will search for this type of clay :P
You are kind! Thank you! :)
Thank you for your comments! I purchased the foam panel 4x8 ft and PVC pipes from the Lowe's hardware store.
quite a insight beautiful
+timothy hill
Thank you! :)
I just watched ur video and enjoyed it very much. I have never worked with that type of clay. Is that something u eventually kiln fire? If so at what point in your series do you removefoam board? Thanks for posting your videos they are excellent.
AMAZING!
amazing
Pedro Vasconez Thank you! :)
@djricardo1998 Well, this part that you wrote is very clear except I don't know how I have solved your problem! :)
Hola!. Quiero saber si la estructura que usas debe retirarse en algun momento, o si esta se queda dentro debo usar algo que no se descomponga con el tiempo?. Mil gracias de antemano
Thats what I exactly did. BTW the video was very interesting to watch. How long did the whole process take in real time?
Oh wow 2-3 hrs!! how much time did the whole sculpture from start to finish take?
The laser was just to indicate the center line so I can make it more symmetrical. This was sculpted using an oil based clay that is not fired. It stays soft always.
excellent! bravo et merci car on voit un peu comment vous travaillez :)
Thank you for your comments! :)
nice job
Thank you.
does this clay air dry? or does it remain pliable?, or maybe you have to wrap it or something to preserve it?
I'm sorry I do not speak English let alone write, I'm from Venezuela, Thanks for replying anyway and solve my problem. thanks
the foam sheets that you use as a filler doesn't affect the sculpture when you bake it?
whats the laser tool used at the end, and how do you make sure there are no air bubbles in it, do you fire it.
thanks my man , U R Pro..
Really enjoyed the video. Have a question regarding the clay. Am I understanding correctly that it never hardens? What if you want to create a sculpture that will last a long time? Can you recommend a clay that will harden but does not have to be fired?
generally there are three process to produce a sculpture that will last forever, mostly lol.
1. Modelling (the one that you can see in this video)
2. Moulding (Once you are satisfied with your clay model you can make its mould using various materials, example: silicone rubber, plaster of paris, latex, etc.
3. Casting (Finally, when the mould is made. the clay an be removed and re used in other projects. Then a material such as wax, resin, plaster of paris can be poured or casted into that mould)
Finally just remove the mould and you may have an exact copy of the model you made in clay. I hope this clears you :) :) :)
About how much plastiline did you use? Like how many packets or such. I LOVE your videos, they help tremendously! Thank you! Keep them coming!
Because of the filler foams I used on this one, I think it took about little over 3 lbs.
\you are amazing!! I really want to get into sculpting ,any suggestions on to where to start ,any good books or dvd's you can suggest ? thank you and greeting from Montreal !
Hola te felicito por tu trabajo soy estudiante de licenciatura en artes y esto me sirve mucho para las clases de escultura, soy de Colombia crees que pueda conseguir esta arcilla fácil? actualmente uso ccaolin (arcilla industria) no se si la conoces.
Looks like your doing manga. I'll try to do this. Thank you!
I'll promise, you'll enjoy doing it! :)
thank you VERY much!! Thanks
You are welcome! :)
I think so, but you'll still have to handle the sculpture with care.
its very good video. how I can save it
me gustaría que hicieras un vídeo mostrando cómo preparas la arcilla que tu utilizas sería de gran ayuda, por favor gracias.
lol... Thanks for your commens! I absolutely agree with you! :)
Hi, Because I'm using an oil based clay that stays soft for ever, I do not remove the armature or the foam filler. If you are using a type of clay that has to be fired in a kiln, it cannot contain the materials I have used.
This is an oil based clay which stays soft and will not dry out.
can you put some background music to it as well. It is actually just calming to watch a sculpture being made. Thanks :)
If only making my own cheeks thinner was as easy as this :-D
lol....don't we all wish that? :)
bah! no need for that, you're practically perfect in every way :)
+Sedona Jolley 😊
I purchased some of the tools from our local art supply store and some others from several online art supply stores like "Dick Blick" or "Sculpture Depot".
Friend can tell me the measures did you use for each box of rubber?
I'm sorry, but I'm not able to do video requests due to the lack of free time. I'm sure a quick search on UA-cam will give you many examples of what you are looking for.
Where do I find foam fillers and that pipe that you were using for the base structure? They seem like they would save a lot of money! Great work, thanks for the upload
Hi there - this has inspired me to give sculpting a go, but I need to make the armature stand first ---- I'm thinking a block of wood and then pvc piping as you have here, but (forgive me, I'm totally new to this) how is the piping fixed to the wood? What provides the sturdy structure / holds it fast? Also, do you / how do you remove the head from the piping when its finished? :)
+Matthew Walpole Thank you for your comments! The bit I had was just a little bigger than the thickness of the pipe. I used some painter's masking tape to increase the thickness for a tight fitting. This Sculpture is made from an oil based clay and it won't dry out. The pipe and the foam stays inside.
awesome awesome joooooooooob!
Thank you for your kind, encouraging and uplifting comments! If you are interested in sculpting, I would recommend starting with oil based clay to sculpt with because it won't dry out in the middle of your sculpting and it always stays workable. Happy sculpting! :)
I'm inspired
very nice , sorry whats the material
Thanks for the video it really helped me, i was going to make a sarcastic remark about the lack of sound but the quality of the video washed the stupid right out of me.
lol... Thank you for your kind and encouraging comments! :)
I noticed you use a laser when making your bust. What kind of laser is that and how does it help when creating the bust? Thanks.
Thanks. Does that leave a noticable mark on the clay when you fire the laser?
Thanks for this!
You are welcome! :)
i wanna have those thumbs! looks more easier with those thumbs!
lol... Thanks! :)
Can I ask what the laser was used for? Good job btw
That is a line laser for circular saw with a magnetic base. You can purchase it at Harbor Freight for about $5.00. I used it to find the center line instead of putting a mark on the clay with a knife.
This technique probably can not be used with clay that must be kiln fired, would that be correct?
That is right, unless you cut the sculpture in half, when it is halfway dry, and remove the inner parts. like the armature and so-forth. You can then make sure your sculpture walls are around 1" thick. poke some holes on the inside of the sculpture walls with a tool like a fork and reassemble the two halves together, repair any blemishes and then fire it in a Kiln.
like how many of the Roma Plastilina #2 did you use ?
@Q8AKIRA Thank You!
Thank you! :)
I'm using Roma Plastilina #2 Gray Green oil based clay.
I have a question ... but when the clay dries, finding a non-flexible body in the interior does it break and crack?
This was sculpted using an oil based clay that stays soft always.
@@Liberty_Valance aaahh
Hi, I have been letting them stay the way they are. They were made using an oil based clay that stays soft.q
Coyld you tell me if this is natural grey clay or chemical one?
