Hello which clay do you use? And what type of color I can use to paint the skin more realistic?

I like how in this video you gave a way of referencing the serratus muscles and rib cage as I find ensuring symmetry within a dynamic pose more challenging, so it is helpful to add another point of reference based on fixed points of the rib cage to my knowledge, thanks for sharing this..

Thanks for sharing this video. Don't worry about the delay. Any material shared will be put to good use. One of the reasons i follow your videos lies in this balance of really important elements that always brings the academic. Execution driven by dense theory. The narration involved with the good direction. Never lose that spirit young in their narratives and this commitment to real learning.

I appreciate the addition of vocabulary like “dynamic figure fusion” to describe Michelangelo - there is such a dirth of knowledge and theory on the processes of constructing the figure, even though it was no doubt an extremely technical process!

Thank you for a sculpting video that actually considers the REALITY of trying to complete a piece nicely & practically! :)

🔥🔥🔥🔥

How do you remove the structural part outside the sculpture when it is done?

Formidável, pode se perceber a notável entrega e dedicação do artista, sua mente aguda e perwpicaz na concepção dos princípios da estrutura e da forma, como que a desvendar a geofísica corporal , a interrelação entre as partes a formar a grande unidade. Gostei muito

Can't wait till part 2!

Hello! So when you have started sculpting for the first time? I would love to work for the industry or as freelancer later. Started sculpting today :-D but i cant imageine how many years you need

What clay you use?

Excelente commentary and methods. Thank you

Thank you for this sculpture

a perfect video for all the newbie's which explains the process perfectly..... i tried to reinforce it by adding fibre reinforcement which is used as a concrete additive and it was a massive fail as the fibres stuck to each other becoming large chunks which made the casting unbalanced. Thanks again Eirik for these videos

Stunning informative videos as always❤

Thank you very much for your good teaching👍🙏

These videos are didactically perfect🙌👏

Thanks so much ❤

Man, I wish I could sculpt like that. Whether I use Polymer Clay or Monster Clay, my sculptures always look like deformed clones of humans.

I dont think its a good idea to glue armature to base until you finish the sculpture. There can be many changes along the way. If its glued you are stuck with the original form.

i don't think you have to have a why. Ever. Wanting something is enough. Why do you want to be an artist? Because you just do, right?

Hi Eirik, it is a very helpful video! i have a question: in order to make the mothermoluld, do you use normal plaster with Aqua resin?..or is it a particular type of plaster?

This video managed to describe the issue of light so completely that it was not limited to just the issue of effect.I will certainly look at great sculptures from now on with different eyes.I will look with eyes that can read the light and its colors in detail.And the narration always pleasant.🙌🙌

looks amazing.

Brillant work

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It’s interesting to see how in the past, sculptures were made in sections which were then joined together e.g. hands would be separate. Iron pins seem to have been used. Seams would be filled with a cement or lactose adhesive. In the Renaissance, there was debate about this - a single piece was considered more ‘masterly’ because more difficult, but the typical figure sculpture was in sections which was cheaper and easier. They had various devices too - e.g. a figure of Mercury stand by a tree stump uses that stump for structural support. It’s art, aesthetics and engineering working together in a way that perhaps only sculptors appreciate.

Why do you use silicone rather than latex? Latex has more stretch and so would not have nearly as many seams e.g. at the knees. It might take more work perhaps (building up 20-30 layers, waiting for each layer to dry), but it might also be less expensive than silicone. Does silicone e.g. give better detail in the mould than latex?

If you do this often, have an mdf board that you clamp vertically to the workbench as a guide for the base. If this has a hole in it that you can reach through, you can then align the L brackets. Use Paraloid B72 to stick the L Bracket in place - it will hold firmly after a few seconds. Then can reinforce that with fibreglass etc. Or simply have a board, like a floorboard clamped vertically to the workbench, and move it along when do the other side. Paraloid B72 should hold 100kg or so if the L bracket has 2 square cm against the inside, so that may be enough anyway.

How many kg of silicone was used for this sculpture?

Another valuable video with pleasant narration as always. Thank you!🙌🙌✨✨

Your tutorials are amazing ❤

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Super danke

❤❤❤❤

Love it man!

Thank you for all the helpful information, Eirik!

Very soothing to watch

CAN THIS BE USED ON HIRE FIRE STONE WARE?

As always,your narration is very pleasant.I particularly like this absolute silence while the narration runs through the video because I don't get distracting.And also because I always like to watch the full video and then just listen to the narration,just the sound.The video is very technical and full of golden points of anatomy without being monotonous or complex.I think that anyone who has studied anatomy in the classroom and in practical classes clearly understands this detail.And for those who have never studied,the explanations are also crystal clear.I think that two necessary pieces of knowledge have been brought together that lead us to a path of no return, because we will look at your sculptures or any work we do in a different way.Observing more carefully,essential and necessary points in the work that will inevitably lead us to gradually climb the steps of improvement in our creative process.Thanks for sharing.

What kind of clay do you use, just love ur work and advice

Question, what did you use to make ur handles?

Thanks!

Hi Eirik, I'm coming to Florence in February, is the acadamy studio open to visiters? It would be lovely to see your amazing work in person, oh and meet you too 😆

I'm painting my first resin sculpture using acrylics. My piece looks decent but to me the paints looks a bit caked on. In seeing your video, it seems to do small layers at a time. I never really diluted the paint in water and applied it that way. 🤔 That's a pretty good tip. I might try oils for my piece, just to see how different it would look and compare the two. I'm more comfortable with oils, acrylics alway confuse me.

I love the way you teach

Tusen takk for yet another fine tutorial / for makin me eyebrows gorgeous too! : ))

Great advice on not feeling the need to reinvent the wheel. It took a long time for me to unburden myself with those thoughts; not only regarding art but cooking and other aspects of everyday things in life.

very good tutorial, your voice is gorgeous
