This is very useful! Just one suggestion- I'd tone down the music and add your commentary. I'd love to hear what you're thinking as you sculpt it!

[@adamc2693]

Why am i just finding this now.this is more helpful to me than 90% of youtube. Please make this a series :)

Please come back and put out some more of your incredible tutorials! For real some of the best I’ve seen out of hundreds. Thanks for sharing your tips 🤘🏼

[@tommyboyio1363]

The amount of clay you use for these demo pieces gives me anxiety. That said they look amazing.

[@Stickydice]

Haha too much clay or too little?

[@tommyboyio1363]

@@Stickydice That's a thick piece. A chunk like that looks like it is like half a block of Premo ( unless you have tiny hands) that's like 2$ worth of clay when I live. Then again I guess im just kinda poor

[@KingVoid27]

@@tommyboyio1363 you don't have to get just small blocks of premo. I have huge white blocks of sculpey that last me a very long time

[@glumpy6079]

(With the sound off), that was great! Have used some of your techniques and they are brill. Cheers dude.

[@narkroshi88]

Ironically, this helped me tremendously in 3D sculpting. Thanks!

[@elizabethflood8994]

Thank you, Stickydice, for showing how to sculpt hair / fur.

[@adabuilder6711]

Definately subbed to this channel! I'ved loved both the scales and fur tutorials! The camera shaking made it a little hard to see what you were doing but even with that I learned so much! I hope to apply this technique when I start making dragons and aquatic creatures.

[@elizabethflood8994]

Very creative, techniques and the tools that you used, for the sculpting.

[@Floramycena]

Thanks for this video! I got stuck with my sculpture and now I'm able to finished it!

[@bucketofgames5498]

Hey Stickyd ;) this is great! Im a digital artist and i cant stress enough how important i think watching you sculpt helped me visualise my 3d cad work! Keep it up!

[@misscheif]

Maybe a really thin layer of milk powder? If you put it on the cake like it's powder concealer?

Dude, this is so helpful

[@kox-killzcymerii3322]

Thanks for that. Now i know what will take hours to make my wolf look at least something close to a wolf... This weekend no one see me outdoors for sure...

[@alanavandenberg3645]

I'm going to sculpt some fur for the first time in my next project and this was really helpfull. Thanks! :D

[@lauraking2728]

Very helpful and beautiful results! Love your music too btw :D

[@funclaysculptures3758]

Great tutorial. I'm definitely going to try these in my sculptures.

[@brenyoung5878]

Great video! Best tutorial ever! Nix this music lol

[@TN-xi1hg]

Great video . I noticed the green method has emphasis on larger flocks of hair. Have you ever tried combining that with the blue method? Also do you think that making a fur mold is useful to save time for example grind out the blue method on a semi large sheet then make a mold out of it and pour clay in and stick it to bald animals and blend ?

[@SymbioteSeeker]

I personally use the 3rd option (blue). Great video!

[@MrJcdelete18]

Thanks, this was super helpful for a new idea of a sculpture I’m gonna be doing

[@ancientreddragon5617]

Definitely gonna do something similar to what you did with the pink clay on my D&D Eldritch Knight character mini for the wolf fur drape around his neck/shoulders 😊👍

[@gamayundoom]

Dear guy from sticky dice, I miss you very much. I've recently discovered your videos and your help has been astronomical for me and I bet it was, is, and will be for many others. You're amazingly talented and generous for sharing your knowledge with us. I hope you're okay after these years without posting.

[@slowerthanzero673]

Thanks for this video! This was very clear and easy to see the techniques you are employing here. I am working on a project of adding some details to a dragon statue I picked up and really wanted to give him some nice looking fur. This is gonna be so helpful. I'm subscribing! Since this vid was helpful, I'm sure your other ones will be too if I find myself stuck on anything else. =)

Can you make a mold of the fur and then put clay in it to make several fur pieces and then blend them together to save time ?

@@Stickydice Thanks!! best looking fur ive seen on yt

[@Steve19906]

I think if you talked while doing it people would be able to learn more

[@Rezd-Out]

Feel like you could have gotten the same result with the pink in much less time and effort if you had just grabbed a multi needle tool after making the steps.

[@Stickydice]

I’ve tried that before but it ends up looking more like messy cross hatching than fur 😅

[@loribeth2015]

Watched this on my tv and the green looks neon and can’t see at all what you’re doing with the clay. Maybe use slightly more muted colors for demos in the future, so that it will work on a larger variety of screens.

[@ammorrow11]

Most tv colors are pretty... uniform. I’m watching on an OLED screen. No issues. Check your tv, the video is fine. :)

[@AZ-ty7ub]

That shaking camera REALLY upset my motion sickness, I have to fast-forward a lot through the video :( which is a shame because the techniques themselves were really helpful.

[@jackofallgames3097]

The blue one is a lie

[@Stickydice]

Why?

[@jackofallgames3097]

Because if you watch how he's placing them they wouldn't layer the way he shows in the final product. That's why he skipped to the end of it without showing the details

[@honestfigurereviews]

If you wanna teach us something .. talk through what you’re actually doing ... no music and fast forwards .. talk to us

[@Stickydice]

Honest Figure reviews Thank you so much for the feedback! I’m very new to all this and I’m never sure what to do, I’ll make sure to do abit more talking in the next tutorial. All the best

[@honestfigurereviews]

Stickydice thank you

[@alexisrivas307]

There is no talking or voiceover for this video. My legally blind and need spoken. That’s why this video got a thumbs down. Please make your videos accessible for people with visual and hearing impairments. We watch KZbin videos as well.

[@jrios662]

I see when a guy puts on a video and in the beginning of the video he says he's going to show you how to do this and implies that he's going to speak the technique she's using step-by-step this is not him showing you how to do this this is just a video of him doing it. Videos like these are worth nothing. Because they just show you him doing it could you imagine if a person told you I'm going to show you how to drive a bicycle in this video and all it does is show home driving the bicycle but not telling you where is the throttle how to drop down the gear that's the same thing as this junk

[@nuuculture906]

The thing you seem to be missing is he said “show you” not “tell you”. The video makes sense to me, doesn’t need any explanation. it’s not exactly brain surgery haha
