[@amenbrother8785]

LOVE the channel, just found out this exists. Glad proko team came up with a sculpting channel, lets make sculpture a thing again!

[@janespinosa7759]

🖤 love Sculpture!!
by far one of the best videos with relevant information about sculpture (and less than 15 minutes), and it is also applicable to digital sculpture, (software like blender or zbrush)... clay, wood, paper... the medium does not matter, the important thing is to have the basics, thanks Proko!!

[@AndrewJosephKeith]

Thanks for the comment! 💯 agree.

[@JOTTASILVA98]

Amazing video, it helped me so much, thank you❤️

[@PhiNguyen-jd3vm]

❤❤❤ So great!

[@erickcrm]

Really amazing

[@d3v1lsummoner]

Those wrinkle exercises look incredibly daunting. Seems important though.

[@AndrewJosephKeith]

Definitely complicated but when you break it down it’s easier than you might think.

[@danielquebedeaux1835]

Thanks for the ideas!

[@AndrewJosephKeith]

You’re welcome!

[@janemorrow6672]

That was very helpful Thankyou.

[@AndrewJosephKeith]

Glad to hear it!

[@K.V.S.H]

Hello, thanks for your content ! I think I know the answer but do you think these exercices also apply for digital sculpture like in Zbrush or Blender ?

[@AndrewJosephKeith]

Yeah absolutely. It’s just another medium and I recommend doing the assignments in whatever medium you want to master. I do recommend trying at least a little physical sculpting too even to those who will work primarily in digital.

[@midelcreations]

how do I get the oil base clay to buy

[@mickrozycki451]

Are those 1/4 scale skull available online to purchase?

[@bentobarreirinhas5702]

sculpting miniature figures, does it need a lot of hours practice? is it possible to sculpt in any scale?

[@ManAtPlay]

Oh my 😏 be my anatomy model ❤

[@dekat648]

Do you need to be able to draw to be good at sculpting?

[@yonatanespanolcamargo8388]

Do I have to draw to improve in sculpture?

[@SmashToBits]

It isnt required, but it will help you see forms, volumes and proportions better.

[@ZmashedIndustries]

I found that sculpting taught me the importance of weight balance in models too and (figure) drawing made my sculptures more dynamic
