Sculpting A Human Figure Using Minimal Tools - Part 1

[@PalTiya]

Kim enjoyed taking you through the first part of how to sculpt a figure using Pal Tiya Premium, our all-weather sculpting medium! We hope you'll watch Part 2 when it is released soon!

[@stevenjamestaylor]

I absolutely love you! Thank you for the complete workflow!!!!

[@PalTiya]

[@kittycatgirl1139]

Still wondering how you did original metal armature? There’s bolts & other stuff

[@AzlianaLyana]

Can't wait for part 2!

[@PalTiya]

It won't be too long away!

[@robertanthony8227]

pal Tya clay,xan5 it be found at art stores like Mikeals🙄,??

[@ghostofmantis]

How much pal Toya by weight would a sculpture such as this require?

[@PalTiya]

@@ghostofmantis it really depends on what you are making and what the usage will be for it (sitting, climbing etc). We have a handy calculator on our planning page here: www.paltiya.com/planning.html where you can plug in your dimensions & it will calculate how much you would require for your project. 👍🏽😀

[@eileeng7102]

Kim, you are the master! Thanks, cant wait to see the rest!

[@PalTiya]

We'll be sure and pass those kind words onto Kim Eileen :) Thanks

[@scottlowe5961]

What a great tutorial! Now I need some pal Tiya so I can get started. 👍

[@makemyclay]

Excellent tutorial. Very well explained!

[@PalTiya]

Thanks :) We hope to encourage others to make figures like this and then put them outside in any weather!

[@markanthony523]

Btw- thanks so much for taking the time to show this!

[@PalTiya]

You're more than welcome. Have you tired Pal Tiya Premium yet?😀

[@markanthony523]

@@PalTiya actually, trying it now. I tend to be an extremist, so I am starting on a large project. Will keep you posted.

[@PalTiya]

@@markanthony523 We look forward to seeing what you're up to :)

Is learning anatomy from books enough to sculpt accurately or I do I have to cut into corpses?

[@PalTiya]

Perhaps if Michelangelo had access to the interwebs he would not have needed to indulge in human dissection all those years ago! So many books, videos and courses out there. Probably best to skip the grave robbing and go google whacking instead! #totallynotaserialkiller

Im a bit late to this party but new to Pal Tia. This is such a fab video for the larger sculpt. Best ive seen! But if I was going to make a figure for the garden about 12" tall? Could I just use the armature (gauge wire) and add the PT straight on to it? Without the foil? Ie the thickest part will be the torso but I dont really want to go any thicker than maybe 2-3" max? Any advise for smaller figure sculpt armatures would be much appreciated😁

[@PalTiya]

Thanks for your lovely comment! Yes you can add it straight onto the wire Kim. :) See here: www.paltiya.com/planning.html for more detail.

Hi, I am a new and inexperienced user. I am actually ordering my first bag now. I have a koi pond and I am creating a new waterfall this summer. I would like to incorporate fairies and fairy houses as well as various other mystical creatures such as dragons. Would it be possible to get instruction on the small figurine that you used at the beginning of this video? I think it would make a perfect fairy. My grandson and I are going to be making most of the items for the pond. Love your work :)

[@PalTiya]

Hi there, you cannot use our medium in a Koi pond or with aquatic life, see here why: faq.paltiya.com/article/65-can-i-use-pal-tiya-premium-in-aquariums-fish-tanks-and-ponds the little figure at the beginning was simply a tiny clay maquette for Kim to see what she wanted the finished sculpture to look like in Pal Tiya Premium so we don't have any footage on this sorry... Thanks for the lovely words and we hope you use our sculpting medium for things outside the pond :)

[@dellpryor3149]

I can’t find the next video of details…😣

[@markanthony523]

How did you join the main armature ? Is that a tape at the joints?

[@PalTiya]

Yeah just masking tape :)

[@liskl5982]

What is the armature - not welded but what

[@PalTiya]

Literally galvanised wire covered in heavy duty tinfoil 👍🏼

[@kittycatgirl1139]

@@PalTiyaguage size? & how it’s connected to base?

[@PalTiya]

@@kittycatgirl1139 This armature was done to demonstrate a way to create an internal frame for a thin delicate figure with no welding. It is accomplished with standard hardware store stuff, pipe fittings, wire, tape, epoxy putty, wood base and foil. Please view the accompanying video to see the actual application of this technique. If you use the contact form on our website or check our social media tomorrow on stories in IG, we will share a sketch of the internal armature and connection points.

[@davidkaszubinski6879]

Why do you wrap this in tin foil and wait a day? I thought you wrapped it in wet cloth first? Thank you!

[@PalTiya]

The half life sized figure was quite complex. Foil was used on the first day so Kim could wrap her more closely while she was still soft. Plastic and wet cloths were used on the following days when her limbs were stronger. Day 1 you wrap in plastic and on day 2 that's when you add the wet cloth then plastic again :)
