Actually, I need to add this is probably the best clay instruction video I have watched. I have watched Many!

[@stovepipe5857]

Fantastic video, great commentary. I love your fearless slicing off the fingers.

[@afrimartinez5926]

what the hell!! im studying fine arts and im on my first year, we have to sculpt a hand and you make it look too easy xD i'll follow your video n lets see what happens c':

[@Alex-dj1os]

So what happened?

[@afrimartinez5926]

@@Alex-dj1os i'm actually doing it again because i didn´t pass. didn´t have too much motivation but i am much better this year! so far i passed all courses

[@passage2enBleu]

sign of a true professional: makes it look so easy. Haha.

[@sainsburyslocal]

How did it go 2nd try?

[@Duskykashy]

Haha what happened tell me cause i'm in your place at the moment 🤣

[@mistrcrvr]

Beautiful sculpt and a big Thank You!! You included everything for the beginner. Tools, materials, and techniques. This is why they invented KZbin and you have helped all of us immeasurably!

[@juliankhor]

glad it has been helpful. Sharing is caring ! i learned alot from youtube too. Its my way of paying back :)

[@darksidegemini9888]

Michael Beesch AMEN TO THAT!! I have learned so much from people on KZbin. Crochet, knitting, quilting, now sculpting. I'm thankful for KZbin every day lol

[@HarryElmore-jl2pj]

it is very helpful to view your work in a mirror better than setting it aside of days

[@afaziill]

This is such a helpful video, love how clearly you explain all the steps and the end result is beautiful. I really appreciate you for positing this tutorial. Cheers!

After reading through your comments, I'm almost embarrassed to leave one.. Some Fu#*ing people! Your videos are awesome. They are more helpful to a new sculptor than you could know. Thank you for making them, and please make more! I will never get bored of this.

[@juliankhor]

thank you Joshua...glad you like them...at times can be a little draggy.. but I feel its good to document down the entire process :)

[@elliotmallon7538]

Thanks Josh! Luckily there's more nice comments than sassy ones so I'm not bothered. Glad you find these helpful!

[@mikaelaberg1]

Wow! This really looks nice, a great source of inspiration!

[@64meamea]

I appreciate your work I especially love the button!

Like a pro-golfer, you make it look deceptively easy. Thanks for the video. Subbed.

[@stanimirgeorgiev.87]

For now, I can not read the silhouette of my sculptors because I do not have a proper studio with these black walls. I'm Just beginner. And i started with some base sculpting. Аlso and clay. I'm trying different clay to figure out how they work. But now i will create atelier first. Maybe my question is stupid but how you create this black room or what it is it. Some black cloth / fabric or ? I collect ideas for what i must to do. Black fabric and maybe good backlighting is needed to create appropriate studio.

[@skavenos]

you can really burn the place down. great tutorial by the way, thanks!

[@jujusparrow]

Very nice video and great explanations. Is it necessary to have an accurate knowledge of the anatomy of the hand to do such sculpture? Thanks for the useful content in this video. Julien.

[@3DThrills]

It's a masterpiece.

[@douglasday2940]

I just found ur channel however I bummed out to see u have very very few tutorials plz plz make many many more ur helping more than u can imagine!

[@symmachus898]

Fantastic.

[@MA-bt8il]

Cool! Thank you! Question... My son sculpted his hand out of clay in college (now I know how he did it!) and it is not staying secured to its wooden base. How can I retro-secure it so that I can make a "sconce" out of it (to hold an edison bulb pendant light cord) which I would then want to fasten to a wall for use? Can you help me with an idea on how I can secure it? Epoxy? The clay is still malleable. Is that normal? Is there a way to protect it from falling or getting dinged up? I want to try to surprise him. Thanks for any help. Blessings! :)

[@mistrcrvr]

Would there ever be a situation where you would overlay the Soft onto the Medium ( or Medium onto Hard) clay?

[@elliotmallon7538]

Hey sorry for the late response. I try not to blend the clay too much, it's really annoying to be sculpting on a soft surface and suddenly hit a chunk of hard clay.

[@juliankhor]

hmmm...I never tried that before, i'd rather just stick to one hardness to avoid complications. Sorry if I did not answer your question directly. :/

[@sugarcookie8447]

I know this may be a bit late, but I am trying to create a hand sculpture for my high school portfolio, and I'm only a beginner at clay, so this may sound like a naive question, but how do you go about dealing with captured moisture, as well as airbubles trapped?

[@hurryporter4824]

WHY NOT USING ALUMINUM WIRE AS A SKELETEN FRAME BUT ONLY JUST STICK ON IT ? Stability?

[@emmi7973]

thank you for your awesome videos it really helps learning to sculpt 💕

[@albertocolonia9377]

[@andyrock4ever]

Hi there! Can the clay be reused after using alcohol and the other substances for smoothing on it (and the flame)? Thanks

[@valeryleamy1868]

That was awesome please do more 😀

[@pawin3d]

Very nice!

[@LK-no8om]

Thank you this is really helpful!

[@JasonDBG]

Great video.

[@dauthier]

What happened to the noun “sculpture”? “Sculpts” is the second-person, singular, present, active, indicative of the verb “to sculpt.” It is not a noun.

[@vanessasotorrio1661]

what kind of clay do you use?

[@djanoke-deepartberlin7076]

Plasteline or in german LEHM?

[@djanoke-deepartberlin7076]

Great ,thank you!

[@maddogjb57]

Medium or hard Chavant clay?

感谢您的分享。祝您工作顺利！

[@hmarillejla7]

Why didn't you use an armature for the fingers too?

[@CinemaZiggy]

Joe Grech so you can easily take them off and work on them individually

[@artsculpture1024]

Great sculpt

[@dualvortex]

thanks for sharing. Very useful :)

[@celikart]

plese continue make videos

[@MistressNyxVA]

What clay do you use?

[@mistrcrvr]

Medium Chevant.

[@413draco]

Is it just me or does he sound like Geralt of Rivia trying to be Bob Ross in front of Ciri? He's good though!

[@aidand.7911]

what happens if you want to display your work? The oil based clay never dries and cant be baked so it will always be fragile as hell

[@Vannerdrag]

With the Chavant nsp hard clay it's quite sturdy and wont really displace in normal room temperature and it would work fine for display. Its also a good idea to o a mold and replicate the mode, that way you can reuse the clay and still have a replica of your model! :) I dont have any experience with the medium or soft clay, so I can only speak for the hard one. Its really fun working with this sort of clay, def give it a try! :P Hope that helped

[@kimmcneely2576]

Me watching this for ceramic

[@jarodkob4540]

Where did u get the clay?

[@RetroWizard_]

[@怪阿姨-r3n]

use 3d to create body maybe a better choice……but i prefer to use clay to create head……because 3d printing is always a little out of the shape……😂i don't know why

cliffedward Don't be a douche canoe. Clay is messy, and wooden tools are never going to look pristine if you use them often. His tools are fine, obviously, I mean look what he just made! Appreciate the art, man.

[@mohammadomar2954]

Very niiiice... I have never sculpt anything yet but intrested and u helped a lot from scratch.. Big thanks man!

[@emiliog.4432]

I think that having a great armature makes sculpting and moving the piece less frustrating. Using the skeleton as a guide.

[@LorraineHatrix]

I am confused please tell me how does your piece last if it never hardens up? I love your work very much. :)

[@lauren-gc2iy]

It probably hardens after he kilns it

[@avamasquerade]

My experience: Everything's anatomically correct...it just...still doesn't go like that ☹

[@them4309]

The number of times you modeled and then removed the fingers is truly disturbing. Great job, though!

[@VoyagerGC]

hello. 10x for the video. what clay is this?

[@mvdiazs]

Is it possible to make molds of an object made from this type of clay?

[@cozmic4899]

Amazing im going to keep watching your videos and make modeling with clay a hobby

[@angelicadaliarom2157]

[@goldenkirby21]

gonna do this next year for my year 12 art HSC .So glad i have a video tutorial to watch at home

[@anniemae_art]

Brilliant

[@somdebchoudhury1637]

From where did you bought or how did you made the clay..?

[@TaiganTundra]

Can this type of clay be hardened?

[@Vidyadude]

My clay hardens so it's hard to get back to the sculpt if you don't finish it in one sitting. I can't soften it by heat when it's on the armature. Tips?

[@elliotmallon7538]

Sounds like you're using water based clay? I would suggest switching to oil-based if you want it to not harden and dry so quickly. Unfortunately I have no experience with water-based clay, sorry about that!

[@Vidyadude]

I am actually using the exact same clay as you are using in the video. It's easier to work with after heating but as it colder it hardens a bit and if i leave it out overnight it's not as malleable as after heating. Also, i have a question about posing the fingers. When i pose them they break by the joints and i have to fill in with extra clay where the breakage is but when you do it they don't break, how come? Thanks for awesome videos.

[@emmi7973]

kingcunt maybe make it a bit warmer with a dryer so it will get softer? just a thought of mine, sadly never used oil based but thats what i would try :)

[@aidand.7911]

Is the clay you use similar to monster clay?

[@redflag4255]

loving the zbrush terms, thank you for showing the entire process and the kind of brushes you use, appreciated!

[@eileencoult4368]

Really helpful and instructive and at a good working pace! Thanks so much.

how long did it take to complete this?

[@cristianmiranda2398]

como se llama el liquido que le rosea?

[@airbrushingbynick6071]

Handy to know.😀

[@gamemastertristan3951]

Great artwork. I do not understand: do you remove the sculpture from the wooden board before burning it in the oven? If yes, how do you then get the metal out?

[@elliotmallon7538]

Thanks! And these ones don't get baked in the oven since they're water-based clay and it would just melt. This type of clay never fully dries so even 5 years from now you could go back and work on that sculpt if you felt like it.

[@frankstrawnation]

So, what do you do to make it permanent?

[@onix5221]

@@frankstrawnation i think that you could NEVER get these to be permanent. Evem after the universe expires the plasteline will go on.. xD
