Sculpting the way I started out sculpting! The aim of this two-part series is to show you guys how I started out sculpting in my apartment bedroom in Oslo, with no studio or much resources to speak of. Sculpting like this for years eventually led to a portfolio of sculptures with which I applied and was accepted to The Florence Academy of Art. Here is how you can go about it and get somewhere with limited resources.

Just a word of advice for anyone in the comments: epoxy is a chemical. It is best practice to use gloves, goggles while it’s in liquid form, and even a respirator if you aren’t in a well- ventilated room. If you’re using this little of epoxy, I doubt you would need goggles, but it doesn’t hurt to mention. It can cause respiratory issues if you are breathing this in or getting it on your skin a lot. :) Just wanted to throw that warning out there in case someone hasn’t used it before!

The armature can be tricky! It's a balance, not to soft, not to stiff. It needs to be flexible enough to adjust but not so flexible it can't support the weight of the clay.

Tip: If its a bit bigger sculpture, you can put a couple off wooden clothespins on the armature. (I hope Google translate was correct with ‘clothespin’ hahaha. If not its a clip to hang laundry while it drys, I hope you understand😅) I remove the middle wire thing that holds the clothespin togheter. It creates a sort of grip for the clay to hold on to:) used to learn it that way just be carefull in the beginning for your hands. (Learned the hard way for sure🥲😆)
@EirikArnesenArt

My only addition here would be to use plastic clothe pins instead of wood. If you use water-based clay the wood will rot and cause mold.

I also find it kind of funny that the creatures I want to make are based off of a book about a person making pottery dragons in A small london suburb.why is it always a small london suburb when It comes to clay figurines..??

Yes you can use small brass tubing to do this. You would do this to help with taking the piece apart for mold making. It's a little difficult at this small scale but at a slightly larger scale it wouldn't be a bad idea! It does become quite complex though and I like to keep my armatures fairly simple.

Hello. No not really, not if you want to use an internal armature. Your best bet is to use oil-based clay. If you use a hard grade of oil-based clay the final sculpture will be pretty tough. You can heat up the hard oil-based clay to make it easier to work with.

@EirikArnesenArt
@EirikArnesenArt 2 жыл бұрын
I think there are three main pillars to lean on when it comes to sculpting or creating representational art in general: Observation, knowledge of anatomy and knowledge of structure. I would suggest, if you can't get a live model, to use photo reference and/or anatomical reference for your work. It can also be good to practice from imagination or with limited reference. It will help you find holes in your knowledge that you can then fill with observation of reference. But working with some sort of reference, be it live model or photographs, are almost always going to imbue your work with more naturalism (in my opinion).

I'm used to a horizontal support beam entering into the hip area. I would suggest having it come in at an angle from the back into the buttocks/hip area. This way it's not blocking the intricate modelling of the lower back.

Pretty small, a few millimeters, it's not really that vital ultimately! Most important thing is that there is wire.

Haha! Enthusiasm is important! You don't want to completely kill your joy of sculpting by sculpting something you don't care for. Give yourself some easy wins from time to time though, don't only sculpt large and difficult things.

@EirikArnesenArt
@EirikArnesenArt 2 жыл бұрын
In this scale you don't need an armature for the head. If you do think you need one, attach a piece of wire to the torso section of the armature wire with some more thin wrapping wire or a zip tie. It's easy to fix. I used to simply insert a piece of wire into the neck, depending on your clay this will be enough.

I dont think its a good idea to glue armature to base until you finish the sculpture. There can be many changes along the way. If its glued you are stuck with the original form.

This is true and I agree with you. This video is a little old and I don't glue the armature into the base anymore.

I really enjoy your videos and find them very informative. However, if I may make one criticism (and this is the bane of many KZbin watchers)... the background music. If there is no narration, it's not a problem. We can simply turn off the audio and watch in silence. But, where the narration is vital, as in yours, the music is extremely distracting. In my case, even music I like would be distracting. With regard to the music loops you use, I think it is unlikely that anyone would be scouring iTunes for that piece that goes DA-DADA-DA-DAAA over and over again ad infinitum. I have read comments on this issue on other videos and was interested by one reply that explained that the voice-over narration sounds raw and "unprofessional" without some music filling the brief gaps of silence. I think this may be something that bothers only the film makers. To a large percentage of the audience, silence (except for narration) is golden. If viewers prefer music in the background, perhaps you could recommend a playlist to listen to while watching. They have that choice. But, here, there is no choice... it's narration with repetitive sound-loop or no narration and, in this case, I'm afraid I opted for the latter. I endured it up to 2.54 and had to watch the rest in silence. For this video, that was fine. It's fairly uncomplicated and self explanatory... although there are, no doubt, some useful tips I've missed for the sake of my sanity. Others may disagree but that's my take. But, apart from the mind-warping Guantanamo Bay-style torture technique, your videos are the best I have seen so far on the subject of sculpture... and you are undoubtedly a remarkable sculptor (just don't ever consider becoming a disc jockey).

Bruh. Alu armature wire is ungodly expensive. Mild steel wire is far cheaper. Tie wire, no. 8 fencing wire. You'll fight it though. Though it's far stronger. So get a fencing tool. Ofc al foil, even papier machie

Bro, aluminum armature wire is not that expensive, mild steel wire is terrible and flexes and bends. Your work will bounce around like a little girl skipping along in the park. Papier machie is for children and hobbyists.

Dude, why dont you just use everyday wire? Just basic heavy gauge wire? Seems like you are following some kind of pedantry here. Trust me, basic wire works fine, is stronger, cheaper, and holds form.
@EirikArnesenArt
@EirikArnesenArt 2 жыл бұрын
Sure it works and you can use it. But it's going to bounce back and forth, it's not a dead metal so accurate bends is going to be more annoying. But it would certainly work! I just find aluminium wire a little more suitable.
