Sculpting Aquaman in Water-based Clay

[@evanparrafx]

To anyone interested in sculpting, I HIGHLY recommend Philippe Faraut's DVDs. They are incredibly informative and the techniques he teaches are extremely helpful. He really breaks down complicated anatomy, forms, volumes, proportions, etc. into a simple and fun process. They're the best sculpting videos I've watched.

[@sculpit]

Thanks Evan

Dear Philippe! You have no idea how happy I am to see you return to the channel !! I feel privileged !!! Just the wonder of the internet to give us the happiness of being able to see such beautiful works from so far away! It would be impossible for me, from here in Brazil, to be able to see your class and your kindness to post your work is a real gift! Thank you!!!

[@sculpit]

Thank you for your kindness.

[@pamelatillery2841]

You are a true genius! This was a pleasure to watch. Fantastic sculpture. 👍🇬🇧👍

[@Alfred-F-Jones]

As an art major in college, I sculpted a lot of heads last semester, and the fact that it took me a solid hour and a half to get the lips looking just right while you managed it in two quick motions really shows how amazing you are

[@sculpit]

Thanks.

[@nothingbetterthanagoodbook8187]

It's beautiful and mesmerizing to watch. Those flowy precise movements! I really enjoyed this.

[@renzesparza6281]

I feel like the skill really shines through on the ear. Its all amazing and very impressive but those blocking in steps to making it showed a lot of experience in the complex shape

Thank you.

[@sbbury7776]

INSANELY GORGEOUS! Your skill and precision are a joy to watch! Your hard work and knowledge of anatomy is amazing.. You are truly gifted and thank you for sharing your fine craft with us! I’m inspired!

[@sculpit]

Thank you so much 😀

[@ajitkaliya]

Your way of sculpting is so pleasing to watch.

[@Rick-the-Swift]

Do you ever look at the face you're sculpting and think it looks exactly like them, but then the longer you stare at it the more it begins to look like someone else. Awesome work. Very relaxing and inspiring to watch and learn from your techniques.

[@Coleccionista_78]

Increible!!! Que trabajo más bonito, una escultura genial. Soy fan de los superheroes y me encanta este Aquaman. Felicidades!! 👏👏👏👏 es una maravilla. Saludos desde España👋😀.

[@nonsenseinmyhead9016]

Absolutely brilliant. Your a very talented man... No, wait, your a unusually talented man. You make it look so easy. It’s not. Sure you can learn the basics and follow a formula, but that’s where it ends. A fine artists eye is needed to make it come alive... and your work is alive.

[@mytwocents3981]

Thank you for these videos. It is a pleasure to watch you work. Your mastery and understanding of form, and the geometry behind it, is incredible.

[@toptop10ten]

Loved it and especially the detail in the eyes!

[@lydiagrey]

Yesterday I sketched portrait of Jason mamoa..... And I was looking for some grey or black n white pictures for rendering purposes when I got to see some of Your work sir. I must say your details and level of perfection is beyond this world.😍😍😍👍 I immediately jumped from Pinterest to KZbin to search for ur channel and I've subscribed immediately. I felt u were working with chocolate, it looked smooth and creamy. Clay looked liked butter. U made it look extremely easy but I know I've made some sculptures and it's time taking and difficult untill unless u love ur work. 👍👍👍 Thanks for such amazing art piece.

Wow! I am looking at your videos and I noticed that you are very quick. You probably excel in painting and drawing, too if you can sculpt like this.

[@Oozaru85]

I tried working with polymer clay and it was a nightmare. Stuff was so hard I could barely form it. Not sure if the wuality was shit or if I had to warm it up before working with it. When I started working with it, my fingers would keep warming the stuff up and it would cause dents and change the shape of my sculpture. At some point I got so annoyed I gave up and downloaded Blender instead. I managed to sculpt an almost perfect head of my Skyrim character there in like 3 hours, it was so easy and intuitive. I think I'll stick to 3D modelling, lol.

[@TheZapan99]

Most likely you were using the wrong type of polymer clay for your needs. Super Sculpey (pink) is much more soft than Super Sculpey Firm (grey). Using a rolling pin or a pasta machine, is is easy to blend the two until you get the desired firmness. Your other problems probably derive from the way you built your armature. Just like painting miniatures, it is much easier to sculpt when your model is properly secured to a wooden base that you can use as a handle. Warming up your clay in a bag dipped in lukewarm water (not too hot or you'll bake it!) can also greatly improve your work flow.

[@shahdemad203]

That's so beautiful....... please we want we you upload more videos. with great love from Egypt ❤️

[@caroagir7903]

Philippe tu es le meilleur, vraiment. tes modelages sont vivants. certaines personnes peuvent te copier,s’afficher sur les réseaux sociaux mais elles n’ont pas ton talent et surtout l’expérience. Pour les français, je vous recommande ces stages en France à Roquefort des Corbieres vous avez les infos sur le site de Philippe. Trois jours d’enseignement tip top.

Sir, you are the true master of sculpting. I have 3 of your books and I'm always looking for any spare time to sculpt. It is really relaxing. I always use Stoneware with a little bit of chamota (moloquite?) 0.2mm. What clay do you use? Thank you!

[@sculpit]

It is a soft clay without grog (Chamota) it is called Lagune EM 210

[@theevilscientist2294]

@@sculpit Thank you! I use PRAI (From prodesco, it gives an stone-yellow colour quite interesting) but I'll try yours to see the result, seems really good for modelling.
