I Made A Critter - Latex Puppet Making Tutorial | Dark Nook

[@williambrown319]

I really like the technique...but could you do one with voice over so i know what materials and processes you're using? I know it sounds silly but this one of those situation that I really want to try this, but i need the instructions as well as the visuals

[@DarkNookShop]

I find my videos with voice over get less views... but I'm happy to answer any questions you have about the materials.

[@ClayDabbler]

Cool, i made a Critter to

[@DarkNookShop]

[@robertcarey45]

I have been looking for a tutorial like this for a good long while.Well done, you did an excellent job Dark Nook.

[@DarkNookShop]

Thanks... there are better ways to do this, using a 2 piece mold... and molding the hands separately... But I wanted to see if I could do it with just a one piece mold.

[@robertcarey45]

You are welcome Dark Nook. You actually did a pretty good job,trying things out and experimenting is part of the artistic process.

[@MorganaHexx1031]

It’s amazing! Your talent and skill are incredible. Thank you for sharing this!

I just subscribed upon seeing this!

[@DarkNookShop]

Thanks. I hope you enjoy my monster shop,

[@philipdefibaugh5683]

Thank you! I want to use this technique to make a Muppet head and a freddy worm puppet!

[@DarkNookShop]

I've been thinking about making a Freddy worm... using this technique for the head, and then just a flat latex sheet, rolled over the forearm to make the body. Truth is, I'm just lazy and don't like making multi-part molds.

[@fondyin]

Awesomeness!!! I love Critters.

[@DarkNookShop]

Same here... critters, ghoulies, gremlins... dig um all.

[@sophiaaa55]

thank you so much for this! what kind of paint did you use on the latex?

[@DarkNookShop]

it's just acrylic paint mixed with latex.

[@Lurch1031]

Dude, you just inspire me to keep pushing to learn sculpting and for that Im so thankful,

[@bigpro562]

is it liquid latex rubber? Amazing video

[@DarkNookShop]

Yes, liquid latex rubber. And thanks.

[@bigfootfinding7019]

What clay are you using buddy? I have a very difficult idea and this seems much better than making it from foam. You can also make as many as you want which i love! Secondary question, how did you go about making it the right size for your hand?

[@DarkNookShop]

I'm using regular plastiline clay to sculpt it... and I just sculpt it big enough to fit my hand.

[@florptytoo]

You're seriously inspiring too many ideas in me. I can't afford everything I want to do now. 😅

[@DarkNookShop]

Most of the stuff I do is pretty cheap to make.

[@alejandromfontanez]

This is Amazing!!! What material did you use to create the mold? And where did you buy it?, This is my first time molding something and I would like to follow this tutorial.

[@DarkNookShop]

That mold was just plaster cement. But I screwed it up and it started setting too fast, so i had to thin it down, which made it very weak. I recommend "Hydro-cal white" or "Ultra-cal 30" and you can get them at masonry supply places... some hardware stores... or some art supply stores.

[@hellwatch01]

Love the video. I too would like a list of all the materials used. 🙏👍

[@DarkNookShop]

latex, cheap fake fur fabric, acrylic paint, clay and plaster cement, some contact cement glue.

[@hellwatch01]

@@DarkNookShop Thank you so much. 🙏👍

[@genesanford9412]

SWEET!

[@DarkNookShop]

thanks

[@SydneyQFilms]

What type of latex and clay did you use?

[@DarkNookShop]

latex is monster makers rd 407... clay is just plastina.

[@youtubeuser1159]

What is that cloth thing you were pressing on the clay?

[@DarkNookShop]

That's a silicone texture stamp. Here's a video on how to make one with latex, from an orange. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKSWe5R5Yq2qfMU
