Sculpting a Portrait, Making a Mold and a Cast

[@davefoss3316]

As someone who has sculpted and worked with clay in the past, this is incredible. It's something that comes with time. Making mistakes and working through them. Getting so far, then totally starting over. Having the wrong expression and changing it. This person has been doing this for quite some time. This is a learned skill, but you have to have patience and put in the work. Tiger Woods didn't wake up one day and become a great golfer. It's the THOUSANDS of hours on the practice greens and driving ranges. It's the time someone puts into something that make them great. So, to anyone who wants to do this, get your ass out there and do it. Get all the supplies you need, set aside a few hours per day, or per week and learn the skills. It's something that doesn't just stay with you either, you need to keep up your skills and stick with it. I hope there are more people out there who do this. It's a dying art, in my humble opinion. It has inspired me to get back into it. I already have too many irons in the fire, but what's one more. It's such a calming thing to do as well. Put on some peaceful music and create! Well done. Thank you Philippe. You are a great artist. I enjoyed watching you work.

The sculptures are without any emotion, just technical tricks

[@Rina-bh1ko]

As for me it looks like a performance - first one face, then another - it's interesting to see how the author's idea and facial features have changed 🙂🙃

I don't understand the people who put dislike .... it's a perfect job. I am also an artist and I really like sculpture and there is no fault here. on the contrary many congratulations is perfect. greetings from Mexico

[@omarbarreramartinez2033]

Puede que esos dislikes vengan de artistas con un "understanding" mas elevado que el tuyo. Donde tú no ves faults, otros los ven a leguas. Me puedo dar cuenta de que clase de "artista" eres

[@omarbarreramartinez2033]

By the way, the phrase "many congratulations" hurts. It's so fucking spanglish and unbearable.

the teeth are weird, not a perfect job, still liked though

[@oshawaxpress]

@@neoskhaos What should the teeth be like then? If they are as he intended based on his source they are not 'weird', they are simply as they are meant to be.

[@thegeorgiealityshow359]

Your art reminds me of famous Greeks and Roman statues.Nice sculptures thx for sharing with us all.Be safe be blessed take care everyone.

[@BakkerSamuel]

Thats completely different..! Greek art was greatly innovative, creative. The sculpture here are just technical, with low expression and no style

[@oshawaxpress]

@@BakkerSamuel 1. All sculpting is technical. 2.Greek sculpting wasn't always innovative, maybe you forgot about the. Archaic period, from which every other style developed. 3. This isn't meant to be an example of 'Greek' sculpting. 4. What do you mean by 'low' expression? This is a sculpting of an every day real person. Real people have an endless variety of expressions. It's not meant to be a sculpting of Aphrodite. 5. Let's see you do better, Michelangelo.

[@jeremyn6726]

You are incredibly talented. It was a great honor to watch you work. Very cool to see two portraits in one with the hair and expression change. Also very impressive gallery behind you!

[@prof.galbadoliveira8288]

Um lindo trabalho! Um grande talento! Magnífico!! Sou desenhista e meu sonho é aprender essa técnica.

[@gemgem24able]

So this madlad just finished a super good sculpture and was like, "NOPE, I'll change it" and made it a more challenging one You, sir, are amazing.

[@sushiromifune7096]

In my country, only students who major in portrait drawing or a mannequin craftsmen can do such a job properly. Few illustrators and comic artists have knowledge and experience of academic portrait drawing. Everyone draws anime and manga with the motif of anime and manga. You guys love manga and anime, but I admire the advanced skills of American illustration and comics.

[@salonsanimy927]

You explain something very important when you change facial expressions like the movement of facial muscles and how they become tense when a person is smiling and this seemed to me very striking.. Keep up the creativity.. Also your hair sculpting and the final result is very beautiful and creative.

Hi, Philippe , do you start laying shellac and making a mold when the clay is still fresh or after it is dry and hard? Or do you wait for hardening a silicon layer before putting another layer? Is the clay you used reusable yet? Thank you for this movie, hypnotizing!

[@su-lj8ni]

@@su-lj8ni Do not start making the mold while the clay is dry, it needs to be fairly wet/damp so it can easily be removed from the mold afterwards.
