Sculpey 101 Class 3: Tutorial on How to Sculpt a Nose with Polymer Clay

[@kellydesilva6733]

I love that you did separate videos for each facial feature with great explanations. Usually when someone does this they do not make it on a head. They sculpt it by itself. This shows each feature and how it relates to the rest of the face which is very helpful. Something you might want to consider; rapid flashing of pictures can induce seizure or migraine.

[@keitheddie5]

Thank you so much for these videos! You are a fantastic artist and teacher.

[@RonWylie-gk5lc]

I have just made the best nose I have ever done while watching this {second time}, what a teacher!

[@JoshForeman]

Awesome! Glad to hear it!

[@LittleSuus]

You're getting me excited to start learning to sculpt dolls. Can't wait to get started. Thanks for being such a help. 😊

[@bruhmoment9439]

I have to say, you are genuinely one of the best teachers I've seen on here. You're not boring (you have an excellent sense of humor that never ceases to make me chuckle), so I don't feel like falling asleep half-way through your videos and forgetting everything-- and you make thing so simple to understand! (Meaning that I don't have to pull out my trusty dictionary for every 4th word you say because I have no idea what you're spouting out, so therefore I have no idea what's even going on) You, sir, have earned a new subscriber! I bid thee farewell (or however it goes), and hope that I can see more quality content like this!

[@JoshForeman]

Thanks so much for the kind words! If you haven't seen it yet, I did a follow up to the 101 series here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWW3ooyLbLVoeMk

[@abahamonde42]

I agree. The best teacher ever.

[@Delicia1362125]

You are TOTALLY not boring...thank goodness for that and yet your teachings shine. Thank you so much. Been doing painting with all mediums and doing wood carvings for years and years. Sculpting however, is a whole different ball game for me. While I know how to carve wood styling with clay, to me, is mind boggling. You're helping me to get a better insight into the art. Thank you O sculpting Bwana!

[@carmenkuhns3137]

Josh I have enjoyed a lot your classes and have learned a lot you are wonderful explaining the details!

[@JoshForeman]

Thanks! I'm glad to hear it!

[@annalizenicholls5889]

Absolutely loving your tutorials! Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Would like to add: Every brilliant artist always think other artists are better. Suppose this forces artists to push the limits. You are better than what you give yourself credit for :) Thumbs up!

[@maryellenrioux2494]

Josh, you are a wonderful teacher! Thank you for your in depth, long videos done in real time.

[@philcarter3324]

I think because of a brain injury when I was 6, I've been challenged all my life with an inability to 'see' in 3D in my mind. Your chilled approach to this is really helping me to overcome it. I just love the simplicity of how to get the mass right first and foremost - so cool, so excited, so let's get to it and I'll share my results if you're still out there. Thank you Josh.

[@JoshForeman]

I'd love to see your progress! Best place to share your work is on my discord. www.discord.gg/UjNApes

[@funmeister]

Fantastic way you make all of it relatable, Josh, like saying those shapers are "like little fingers" and all that... never looked at them that way before and it makes a big difference in the way you approach those tools. Absolutley fantastic.

[@lokuzt]

it's kind of amazing how much a nose brings the sculpt closer to the model's face. Awesome work! can't wait for these series of videos to finish so I can see the whole process :)

[@kellywithay]

Thank you for taking the time to film this! I am taking a 3D art class in college and this was EXACTLY what I needed to know. Hope you continue with the series!

[@HyperBecks]

Decided to take sculpting up as a hobby just to pass time, and your videos are probably the best i have seen, others seem to use too much timelapse with little instruction, or over complicated techniques, where yours are simple and basic with the same outcome!

[@stanspruill4541]

huge help for areas ove been stuck on. your explanations and tips are so much easier than trying to slow down a sped up sculpture video to see what they're doing. Thanks for these.

[@soknowzy7361]

Thank you so much for these wonderful tutorials! You are a brilliant sculptor and teacher

[@JoshForeman]

thanks for the kind words! :)

[@razorbrown]

super helpful, and I bought those rubber sculpting tools too. Thanks!

[@carmenkuhns3137]

Fantastic videos ! You are a great teacher!

[@JoshForeman]

Thanks so much!

[@ashleechan22]

Great videos!!! Its so hard to find really good classes, specially for free. Thank you! I cant wait to start!!

[@leeahare]

I Love your videos Josh, the presentation, articulate tips, humour, music, set, they're all great. I'm currently working on a 12inch sculpture of Christopher Walken's character from Dead Zone so I often use your tutorials as a helpful reference. Many thanks.

[@jeremiahbennett1979]

Enjoying your work man! Following along with these tutorials because I'm getting into sculpy for fun. Really enjoy listening along while I work with a piece. Really really cool stuff! Keep truckin.

[@mattdenman4806]

This guy is all kinds of awsome. Just starting to get a few tools and table together to start sculpting and he starts making these videos :D thank you, you've saved me ahaha. Awsome work as well by the way

[@CalgEerie]

THANK YOU! I've seen the color shapers used in many sculptures but could never find the correct term for them and eventually gave up looking. I will be heading out to get some as soon as possible! Loving the series thus far, keep up the great work!

[@kellydesilva6733]

Another useful too for really fine details is a gum stimulator that you get in the oral care section of a drugstore. The fine flexible tip is so useful. Try it out.

[@Somerville_Darts]

@@kellydesilva6733 thank you for the advice 🙂

[@lachazASMR]

Yeah i use nail cuticle tools myself, i find they are great for fine curves and lines.

[@lowenevvan8619]

Another great tutorial! Can't wait to see what comes next for the mouth. I'll have to buy myself a pair of xray goggles if I want the full experience though, sadly.

[@katlinrutledge3670]

Your seriously amazing dude keep doing what your doing your the reason I am getting into clay and I love it

[@josephurso1108]

What a great series. They are very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to produce them.

[@rodline9027]

Your doing a great job of making it all make sense. Great insight and tips

[@elizabethferguson-barr8932]

Fantastic, light bulb moments. Loving it

[@michellecureton]

I love the detail you go into

[@kallydou]

Thank you. It's very helpful and you are a funny guy. Hope u keep doing these kinds of tutorials.

[@jonymayrobinson2570]

Josh Foreman I am so glad I came across those videos ...i am so interested to learn sculpting and these videos are gonna help me so so much...i have a few questions though...After a session of sculpting how do I prevent the clay from drying out? How long will it stay workable? Do you bake inbetween before finishing the piece? Especially if it has thicker parts and tiny fingers ? I would be very happy if you'd answer me those questions...love from Germany! Thanks for your effort to educate us on this!

[@JoshForeman]

Glad you're giving it a go! 1. Polymer clay like Super Sculpey do not dry out. At least not for years. I still have pieces I work on from a decade ago. 2. As long as you don't have a piece that's thicker than 2 centimeters (That's why you have a foil core) it's fine to have thin pieces in there as well. Follow the directions on the container, but if you have thick areas bake the piece about 10 degrees lower, but 20 minutes longer. Your thin pieces may become darker, but as long as you don't exceed the temperature listed they shouldn't burn.

[@jonymayrobinson2570]

OMG! Thank you so much for your fast response!It's soo helpful..thanks thanks thanks..You are an amazing artist!

[@catherinegoldie3432]

Josh you are a great tutor by the way💕

[@josefernandodelahozescorci543]

wow, i can,t wait for the class 4

[@GrimFelArt]

As per your advice on small changes, a lecturer at uni told the class that constant iteration is important. A work of art is never truly "finished." There are always miniscule changes to be made.

[@dmand2353]

Wow the nose makes everything come together.

[@garyblake4296]

You sir should be teaching all generations of eager sculptors to be and getting paid well to do it.

[@Roman-ey3yi]

Great series, even as a 2d artist. Love the music additions as they keep my attention held.

[@2ruthfox82]

Entertaining and informative thank you

[@xYASMINNN]

Thank you. ❤️

[@waldir-bolanos]

That little finger is one cool tool.

[@ishwerbasra6930]

Love your videos!! Any tips on reviving dried out sculpey firm? Also, where can I get that anatomy reference figure you have in the back?

[@JoshForeman]

I can't find the exact one I have, but here's one like it. www.amazon.com/Male-Anatomy-Figure-Anatomical-Reference/dp/B00UBYHWKQ/ref=pd_bxgy_201_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=WDZ3KHXS2VGHQBJAV4GZ As far as reviving your clay, they sell Sculpey softener liquid. But I've never had good luck with that. I'd just buy fresh clay if you can afford it. It would only be a couple more dollars than the softener.

Great as always! Thanks!

[@nerdboy4534]

Hey Josh my sculpting clay and tools come in tomorrow, any suggestions on what I should do first

[@JoshForeman]

Something you love, AND have a lot of good reference for.

[@agustinkarkocki8569]

Amazing Work...New sub!

[@JozaMuva]

In all seriousness... I've been playing around with polymer clay for a few weeks now and what I find most difficult to do is symmetry. What can you advise me on how to master that as fast as it possibly is?

[@JoshForeman]

1. make sure you've drawn your guide marks, 2. whenever possible use your thumbs or fingers on each side at the same time, 3. practice.

[@JozaMuva]

@@JoshForeman Thank you for your prompt answer man! I just want to tell you, you are a diamond in the rough. You need better video editor and you can be a YT STAR! We need you! ;)

[@touseefdesigner]

1:54 i cant stop laughing.. BRAVOO

[@saadlulu4185]

I wish you didn't fast forward those important parts, do you have a version where you don't fast forward? I will gladly become a patreon if you do

[@JoshForeman]

That's the sort of thing I do on my Twitch channel. If you pop on when I'm streaming you can always request anything and I'll probably do it. I stream Wednesdays @7pm Pacific and Sundays @1pm Pacific. www.twitch.tv/josh_foreman

Dommage il n’y a pas les sous titre en français pour la troisième leçon 😔

[@JoshForeman]

Désolé, cela prend beaucoup de temps

[@cosmicjohn174]

New sub, great stuff here huge help have you tried the little tools they use to put details on finger nails before? I stole some from my wife there metal and they work pretty darn good 😃

[@JoshForeman]

No I haven't. Are you talking about these? image.dhgate.com/albu_265198193_00/1.0x0.jpg

[@cosmicjohn174]

Yes sir I am they have work wonder's for me, let me know if you try them! Keep up the amazing work

[@VickiBowers]

I've seen metal clay artists use shapers like these. Never seen anyone actually paint with then, tho.

[@uhavemooface]

I like the tutorials but I hate that annoying sound when you do the timelapse its so loud and I just can't seem to focus on the work being done. Until you stop the timelapse and then I can focus.

[@JoshForeman]

Thanks for the feedback. I've stopped using that effect after this series. :)

[@VickiBowers]

I rather enjoy the time-lapse sound, though.

[@JozaMuva]

I agree, it took me a few times it happened to even figure out what should it mean? I thought he turned on some sort of fan air conditioner....

[@illusionistdave1]

You are a master!

[@nimueladyofthelake]

awesome

[@Mel-qr5ob]

Everytime I see the intro I think its of a lion biting through a person's arm 😆

[@danieljelinek3144]

OMG is this KSP music in your video? :D I really like it BTW

[@JoshForeman]

Oh man, I WISH, the souls games are some of my fav. Sadly, KZbin would demonetize my vid if I put in copywritten music. :(

[@danieljelinek3144]

Josh Foreman Yeah I actually googled a little, because I knew I've heard this song before... it was in Kerbal Space program but it reminded me the song from DS2 in the Majula theme for the first time :D but I also love souls games and so far love your videos, I'd like to start sculpting so I'm just kinda doing the research here and your vids are best I found so far

[@JoshForeman]

Awesome! Glad you're digg'n it. Good luck on your quest!

[@Imasharkrawr]

whos the guy in the pic though? thats the real answer we need
