How to sculpt the eye 👁

SCULPTING THE EYE 11/2020

Project description
My most requested video. This was a one hour sculpture edited to a half hour video. Feel free to sculpt along!
There is a great Proko KZbin video that goes over the structure of the eye that will be helpful to watch before doing the assignment. Link ( • How to Draw Eyes - Str... ) this video is on drawing the eye but many of the principles will apply to sculpture as well.
I have provided photo references of my own eye that I’ll use. You can use my reference photos or use mirrors to sculpt your own eye.
Once you’ve finished the assignment share it on Instagram with the hashtag #ajkpatreonsculpt and DM me the post for a chance to be featured in my Instagram stories.

Your videos are so clean and simple, there’s no shitty background music, no fake youtuber voice, just you teaching us the viewers how to do shit like a normal person, that’s why I’m subbing to your channel

[@martinraeside]

Couldn't agree more - especially the lack of music. Even pleasant music is distracting, if there's a commentary and you're trying to learn something.

[@Janchaimo1966]

I love to watch, I use to do it also on a limestone but I'm not a professional..

[@Earthlover7373]

Hey how are you? I love your Proko sculpture channel and I have a question . What if I want to make fictional characters into real life sculptures ? How would I capture the angles . Would I have to use different references ?

[@AndrewJosephKeith]

Depends on the character and how they are represented. The main thing is getting many references of the character from all angles you can (which can be tricky). Are you thinking cartoonish characters or realistic characters?

[@Earthlover7373]

@@AndrewJosephKeith I’m thinking turininf the fictional form into realistic human form. An example is let’s say Finn from adventure time

[@Earthlover7373]

@@AndrewJosephKeith yea it can be tricky due to some characters not having full angles from all around

[@Dr.ChayanGupta_PlasticSurgeon]

What clay do you use here Sir?

[@Earthlover7373]

Also the fictional characters will have real life proportions

[@AndrewJosephKeith]

Yeah I recently did a lesson on the Proko 3D channel on sculpting from imagination. It’s tricky but having a basic understanding of sculpting principles and having practices the head and facial features will definitely help.

[@Earthlover7373]

@@AndrewJosephKeith I also got a little lost little on how to make the rib cage because it looks confusing . Also in the premium is there a slower of how to do the armature ?

[@danieltronbelli1328]

What the name the tool you use

[@AndrewJosephKeith]

I’m not sure what the name is but it was part of a set called “stainless steel carving tools” on eBay

Wonderful, thank you so much.

[@JoseRojas-qx3vd]

Gracias por el tutorial fue de mucha ayuda para entender el ojo

[@AndrewJosephKeith]

De nada! Gracias por comentar!

[@martinraeside]

Liked the improvised tools. A friend introduced me to a particular plastic flossing bow that has a nice tapered curving point. Great for tiny details.

[@AndrewJosephKeith]

Oh yeah I could see those working for tools! Thanks for the comment!

[@sharadsolas7839]

Very nice demo..🎉🎉🎉

Very very nice tutorial for Bigginer my like me👏👏👏👏

[@AndrewJosephKeith]

Thanks! Glad it helped

[@Mr.CreamCheese69]

I'm noticing less detail is more. I kept trying to thin out the eye lids and do very fine detailing but I end up just shredding the clay up lol

[@terrencemichaelcruz1801]

exactly.. Same shit here

[@sebasoares4327]

Sou brasileiro e acompanho seus vídeos. Faço esculturas com papel machê e aproveito muitas de suas dicas em meu trabalho! Parabéns e obrigado!

[@carmendoloresdelmoraldelar8039]

Andrew 😊 I will learn a lot! Thanks!

[@arifdale]

Thanks for making this video! Did you heat up the Chavant clay in this video? I just bought a chavant clay, my palms got sore the day after using it "raw"

[@AndrewJosephKeith]

Yeah sometimes I’ll heat it up so it’s softer. I don’t think I needed to for this project though.

[@arifdale]

@@AndrewJosephKeith thanks!

[@רותיכהן-כ2כ]

תודה רבה על ההדגמה המצויינת תודה רבה

[@bleh2590]

Honestly is better to invest in professional materials so you are practicing with the actual tools you will be using for probably the rest of your life. those wax sculpting tools are the best I ever had and currently I cant afford to get them and is not the same, they make things mucg easier,

[@AndrewJosephKeith]

I think if you can afford professional grade materials and tools then go ahead! I just know that many people feel they must get the professional stuff when in reality they just need practice and starting with whatever is available is better than not starting at all.

[@aeroedymodelismo1385]

Fantástico

[@AndrewJosephKeith]

Thanks 🙏

[@anjaduvenhage9354]

Stunning work! The first tool you are useing, where could I get it?

[@AndrewJosephKeith]

I got it from a set I got on eBay called "stainless steal wax sculpting tools" or something like that.

Me encanto ese video donde puedes girar 360 grados la foto, como lo hago?

[@AndrewJosephKeith]

Yo no mas tomo photos, muevo poquito, tomo otra foto, y así giro 360 grados tomando fotos. No es muy difícil no mas requiere tiempo.

[@carmendoloresdelmoraldelar8039]

Gracias voy a intentarlo

@@nehuenjavier6962 yeah working with Stan and his team is awesome. there's still a bit of work to do on the figure sculpture fundamentals proko course but it should be awesome once it comes out.

[@nehuenjavier6962]

@@AndrewJosephKeith yes i know, Proko has a lot more of drawing and painting videos than sculpting

[@nigeldonaldson1647]

WHY do you exaggerate the eye lid thickness more? perhaps the classical sculptures were after that...God like, over worldly look, like for example in ancient Rome Emporor's were depicted with no bridge to their noses, as a matter of importance. But I don't see the need with modern portrait sculpture, it can sometimes look goggle eyed looking.

[@sidharththakur6584]

Sir how to take photo 360, I mean which app on Android?

[@AndrewJosephKeith]

I just take photos of the model slowly turning and then swipe between the photos.

Enjoyed watching your video it was very educational thanks for sharing 👍👍👍

Where did you find the reference

I make and sell the references of the eye, mouth, nose etc.

what clay are you using?

Chavant nsp medium

@@AndrewJosephKeith alright thanks!!!

[@MileyCyrusSwollenGums]

Great video but I disagree with buying any type of clay. Higher quality clay is a night and day difference from cheaper clays in my experience.
