Wow, this was beautiful & emotional! Does this mean you were Joseph. Yeshua’s father, in one incarnation?

Always ready to sit quietly from an educated discussion of facial planes but then stay for the philosophy. Let’s be honest. Sturgeon's law comes to mind more and more these days.

Dwayne Wade statue needs to be analyzed this way. I don't know what they were thinking to approve that.

Obrigado pelo vídeo Rick!

Interesting video. Stephen Bauman has created an app for the planes of the head that allows the object to to positioned at any angle vis a vis the light source. The app is only $5

Thank you , this video was made for me 😅

Hi man, congratulations for your channel! I'm from Brazil and i'm starting in sculpture! Your channel have very nice contents to mee, i loved 👏

Great video! And Van Aken is still in business.

Great video Thank you. I'm glad I'm not the only one who struggles lol. I was quite prepared to trash one this morning but on closer inspection I realized it was ok. I made some big changes and resculpted the face and now its looking good. I once trashed an entire lifesize black eagle just before molding.....thank God!

As a student in the 3D Character industry Rick just saved my life

FANTASTIC !

❤😢😊 😊😊

truly helpful. Thanks!

Hola. ¿Los hay en español?

Is this better than Uldis Zarins book Anatomy for sculptors? That book looks more modern, but sometimes the older books are made better.

Thank u bro for this tutorial.amazing .true artist❤❤❤❤

Hermoso❤

A beautiful sculpt!

Beautiful piece, Rick. Always interesting to listen to you expounding on various topics.

Nice work.

Hi, may I ask where to watch the full lesson for mouth sculpting please? I have browsed the patreon website for this lesson, but it seems I can’t find it. Please advise. Thank you.

the only comment I have on this book is that I wish more people, when presenting it, would make mention to the reference he makes regarding the human skull shape in Europeans vs Africans, and that those differences are paralleled to mental capacity vs instinct. I'm sure we would all agree that this is quite wrong, and to our 21st century morals, quite offensive. This is not to say that an offence was intended considering the book was first published in 1903 (I believe), however if we are reading it today, we need to be clear and put into context the reference to the time it was made, and how little we knew.

Thanxs God that there are people like you who still believe in the value and beauty of old art & books like me. I got graduated from art college last year and I was planning to learn how to be an artist like Michael Angelo! I was completely disappointed from studying there because they didn't appreciate the beauty of the old masters and instead their focus was on the ugliness of the modern art.

Sculpture a whole body newborn baby and let me see it❤❤❤😊

So beautiful the sculpture that you are doing you make it look so easy❤❤❤😂

Thank you so much! This is super helpful❣

I appreciate these videos of the anatomy for sculpting. This is helping my beginnings of sculpting tremendously. Thank you❤

Beautiful work!

Nicely done! I love you explanations when it comes to the forms of the head. Keep it up!

This is great for learning faces. Thank you for sharing.

Oops, Correction in the beginning I meant to say "Asaro" not "Faragasso"

That presentation is fabulous Rick and this sculpture is delicate yet relatable, a fine piece of art well executed as well as this history lesson you genuinely share and it is needed to be heard and appreciated. Thank you so much! I don’t even understand why we didn’t see the entries before any judging and decision was made. Seems to me art shows are shown to the public before judging… all mine were. I wonder what the other entries were now. Incredible presentation leaves me wanting to know more, like how did a George and Anne meet… and more. There must be a place for your beautiful sculpture. Your child is fortunate to have a father who cares about history, teaching and also of the state. You are easy to listen to, spark curiosity and interest and I feel better educated now about Our flag and our ancestors vs only if reading this history. I hope schools would invite you to speak to youth in our city and county. I hope this type of history and art you create and coordinate with sculpture continues in our City of Annapolis and others. Peace like the symbol of a dove! What this city needs right now is peace and a passion forward for peace verbalized and visualized. Ideal and with plants also around it in the circle would have been lovely and peaceful and since not I pray somewhere else it shall shine for all to see and learn by. Sincerely, Natalie Benincasa-Powell Ward 8 I can’t wait to share this lesson. Thanks for preserving it on KZbin!

Wilfredo Valladares at the AACC have developed excellent procedures to obtain public works installations , it maybe helpful to give him a call !

Beautiful Sculpture Rick, you are brave to put forth any public works sculpture given todays political/social divisions, so good for you for your efforts to get classically themed and beautifully rendered work out there.

He looks half naked, wearing sheer undergarments. This is not a criticism of nudity, nor of the beauty of the human form, yet this statue appears highly provocative. Certain elements seem incongruous, such as the Dove and the impression of the phallus. If, on the other hand, colonial sexual exploitation, violence, and patriarchal rule over indigenous peoples are being suggested, all of these symbols work in harmony.

Beautiful piece. Thanks for all the history. I used to have my boat at Solomons Md. Loved that place in Calvert County. Few committee can recognize quality work. How can they--they're not artists. They're probably not comfortable the with male anatomy. It's a beautiful piece--

U great artist bro.. Nice to meet u.. Thank u for sharing. 🎉🎉🎉

I like that spring loaded ladder and also the collection of sculpture stands.

Very interesting. I did a search for an ebook of Mr Dunlops publication and to my shock discovered that the Google version, in the Internet Archives and also the Open Library has been edited to remove the actual drawings. Presumably because they offend someones definition of what a male and female is. Keep those physical books safe. They are censoring the digital versions. I've got the book on Strength Training Anatomy and although at first I dismissed it, now that I've had a few years of figure drawing, I agree. Great book! He focuses on female anatomy just as much as male but unfortunately he doesn't emphasize the differences. Unlike Michelangelo, his females do look like females but the why is missing so it's not designed as an art book but is better than most art anatomy books.

You are amazing….. is there anyplace I can ask you questions and send you photos?

good job!

This is awesome Rick! I loved your video of adding the mouth onto a male portrait from a while ago. I'd seen that and didn't realize it was you that created the video until after the first figure sculptors united competition. Keep up the great work!

Been a while (years) since I sculpted anything in clay. Was tasked recently to do a life-size '78 Michael Myers complete with unmasked head/face, and of course mask to fit over. I'm sculpting the face, and have ran into a couple walls. I really enjoy the intricate, but simplicity of how you explain the facial/cranial anatomy. Thank you

ik bro did NOT spend time scuplting the johnson 😂

This video was possibly made for students in your class but KZbin recommended it to me so I must say thank you for the lesson
