Sculpting the Aging Process

[@blakeparnell7276]

I don't know how this is possibly, but you just sculpting my late great grandfather throughout the years! Especially the smiling face! Brought up great memories. Thanks, friend!

[@dyemooch]

This music and Philippe Faraut's amazing ability to capture the the human body in clay go well together. It becomes less of watching an incredible talent, but more of watching ourselves grow old. This is an incredible, INCREDIBLE talent from both artists in his way. This video makes me miss the youth I had, appreciate the age I have now, and hope that I can be at the same level of peace in an age I've yet to encounter. Bravo.

[@schoolahardknocks52]

Philippe my heart has butterflies as I watch you sculpt, your talent, perspective and transitions ...and filming ...and music ...Wow... You Are Amazing. Thanks for Sharing all these Wonderful Videos and Inspiration.

[@patycardenas]

what a lovely video, makes me imagine how my dad will look in the future awww i love old people theyre so wise and full of experience :)

[@claymoma]

I wish we could see more of this talent, his work is just stunning!!! More Video's PLEASE!!

[@SolarDiamond]

The video itself is a work of art. It made me want to cry by the end of it, seeing the person age. Perhaps it's because my grandmother just passed away. I love the smile at the end, though. Gorgeous work.

[@jerjr49]

a tour de force by a true master of the medium. incredible.

[@helpage]

Lovely to see someone who appreciates the beauty of ageing and that it is something that can be celebrated.

[@farbodsayeh7737]

Wow, This is amazing. I'd love to see a better quality or a new one. Thanks for sharing your art

[@margicavesela]

You did such a great job, this movie made me happy, I don't know why it just did. You had a great idea when you decided to make a movie about the process of getting old and combine it with sculpture. Congrats!!!

[@saveusmilkboy]

i love it that you gave him a smile in the end! amazing video

[@phyllisgriffin5933]

You are amazing! I wish I could have joined your workshop at Ringling this year! I told my granddaughter to look you up! She attends Ringling

[@llustre]

this video is a pleasure for the eyes. great art skills and a full sense of emotions and expression. thanks for sharing your art

[@jenacorn]

I'm glad you made him happy at the end. He looked so dour the entire time.

[@ednagoola1137]

You have an amazing talent mr.Philippe, bravo!!!!!!!!......much respect.

[@mbpetragiselagebhard7771]

sie sind ein grossartiger Künstler ,Herr Faraut

[@NoadiArt]

That's really great. I'm self taught as well and seeing your work really inspires me to keep working at it and improving.

[@NeonsStyleHD]

WOW they look alive. Beautiful work.

[@lorr4bs7777]

Beautiful! Sad what life can do to such a gorgeous face! Made me cry! Glad you ended with the smile! Wish I had your talent!

[@iloveyouohno]

Sehr beeindrückend. Es ist ihm noch besser gelungen als ich erwartet hätte!

[@BeedieyeCreates]

I'm truly amazed and inspired by your work. I see myself developing another hobby that I can share with my kids.

[@DannyBoy443]

@CaptScruffywhiskers Actually I think it's THE only lovely thing about it. This is hard to teach and someone like him is one and a million people. My personal favorite thing about sculpting is that you can use and reuse clay over and over again as long as it doesn't dry up. You can't do that with a painting or a drawing. It's classic too. Sculpting with clay will never go out of style.

[@ShadowMakerOfMasks]

Brilliant. Your skill is practically beyond human.

[@accabonacsue]

Great video of how to make a sculpture. Would like to see more of these and to learn from your work. Excellant work!

[@jaminnit]

Truely talented, the process is fascinating

[@Mogsoup2]

from the jawline to the sunken eyes, amazing detail, great post

[@77DarkButterfly]

You sir, have truly amazed me. My hats off to you.

[@muselessmusician]

I love how you sculpt the deterioration of the human form by adding clay to the model. I got a real kick out of that.

[@LunchboxHeroZ]

This video is artistic in so many ways.

[@langelslshadowl]

@ffles I agree completely. I do a lot of different forms of art, both traditional and digital, but people who see my digital art think that I don't have to use effort to make the stuff I do. If making thing digitally were that easy, it wouldn't be considered art. Hopefully some of those people will catch on...

[@gabrielagraneros8141]

👏👏👏....increíble como le da vida propia a la pasta!!! Que placer verlos trabajar gente!!! ❤

[@kazamakooza]

Fascinating...especially the work around the eyes *****

[@ryannlag]

Your brilliant Sir. Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for sharing. I also love the cow boy you did. I trying to tech myself..... any tips! Thank you

[@InsertNameHereBoi]

I feel like crying because this person is so fucking amazing.

[@kojichan]

This is one of the most amazing videos I've ever seen - the sculptor, AMAZING! O.O

[@davidgeister]

Beautiful - and surprisingly emotional.

[@mrbanana101]

Absolutely amazing. This artist has some serious skills, I someday hope to be able to sculpt this well =D

[@anagallo4372]

Beautiful. Thank you for posting this.

[@hugger1ify]

Fascinating work

[@paulamorais1989]

AWESOME! Never seen something like it... loved it!

[@shoppittsburghnow]

love the work here

[@accabonacsue]

Fantastic video of the sculpting process. Can we see more? What kind of clay are you using?

[@jcnld]

This was amazing to watch. This is an old uploaded video, but Thank you so much for uploading it 😄

[@Pensivepumpkin]

This is really amazing...like wow..He really needs to have good grasp of bone and muscle structure in order to create this. It's just so inspiring.

[@ChristacheLaPistache]

Beautiful, and informative. Thank you so much! Me? I'm glad I'm aging. More interesting features to discover than on a smooth, young, face, and also more exciting to find out how one can work on oneself so as to enjoy growing old. Don't fret. It's not that bad ... :) I actually enjoy it.

[@willadio]

I have done a little sculpting and it takes a large amount of patience, especially working on the eyes and mouth.

[@JanivanLoghem]

Philippe Faraut has truly understood the aging process!

[@luna_in_art]

the sculpture was amazing, and that music playing was so calm. how can I get the name?

[@timofly]

@CaptScruffywhiskers using computer programs or cgi still requires multiple layers of talent and skill. it requires being able to picture something and to make it appear 3d in a 2d space.

[@ilinaeternity]

I think the man looked beautiful at all points of the video. The smile at the end was the most beautiful:).

[@smoshfighter2378]

U did such a good job

[@ilescifuentes]

this is fantastic it is just amzing in love with ur work amazing.

[@PureDeception500]

Wow,you are amazing! What kind of clay did you use?

[@catsterw]

This guy knows what he is doing

[@dani70026]

Even though I agree that neither method is easy, physically (I think) is a lot harder due to the fact that you must also use your muscles, get exhausted and so on. Also, the rewarding feeling afterwards, for me at least, is greater.

[@PhericZehn]

unbelevaible, amazing, ...no words

[@sk8inleo]

this is amazing, i really enjoyed watching it!

[@lady7nichole]

I was thinking it would be very sweet and meaningful if with age came happiness.... and just as i thought that you added a smile... beautiful :D

[@luisfotosevideos]

Amazing work

[@safado1499]

master! Thaks a lot. God bless you!

[@Chrisonum]

Me gustaría saber el nombre concreto de este tipo de arcilla, es perfecto para modelar bustos. Gracias. J'amerais savoir le nom de cet type d'argile, c'est magnifique pour modeler . Merci. I would like to know the name of this kind of clay, it's perfect to sculpt. Thanks.

[@Pimporly]

WOW! Thats an artist!

[@laurakyller2749]

Definitivamente el puntillismo abstracto de nuestro Gabino Amaya Cacho es, único e inconfundible, con esos bellos colores jamas se podrían confundir, estos no hacen puntillismo pero su arte es muy bonita bastante creativa Eduardo Arroyo, Luis Gordillo, Antonio López los invito a apoyarlos ya que tienen un gran talento.

[@urbanmusiq]

you are amazing and inspiring!!

[@fgs317]

Goosebumps

[@ryannlag]

Thank you! Very beautiful!

[@ryannlag]

ahhh... when we get tired our bodies take such a beeting. Thank you

[@oqlebarron]

excelent work!

[@Johanneslars]

Wow - it would be amazing to create any of these faces with such apparent ease, but the "live 4D" sculpting is very clever...

[@bukur09]

great work..!!

[@idecarliercarole3789]

Magnifique!!!!

[@megayear2012]

hi. your sculptures are magnificent.. however do you think you can sculpt some figures for me.. please respond...and tell me how much each cost...

[@pammfh]

Amazing. I wish I knew and understood the face like that.

[@lady7nichole]

Thank you for sharing. Very creative :D

[@deleted_why]

This was hard to find and worth the effort

[@Cssfiend]

@CaptScruffywhiskers CGI is done by hand, it is just a different medium

[@anshelm222]

bellísimo

[@bubblegumprincess22]

Ahhhh! Very amazing! Keep up the good work!! :-)

[@ronaldobalduinodacosta8644]

[@ashleycarriger6400]

Ugh I'm crying right now

[@south4ever617]

[@trecool3134]

Excelente!!!

[@xerfes]

@CaptScruffywhiskers CGI does never get better then the hands behind the computer.

[@andredragt4558]

Echt geweldig

[@waltbaby8]

man that dude is a beast

[@Xplorer228]

Yes they both require a great deal of skill, but the computer DOES do a lot work for you other than just CTRL+Z. With traditional sculpting you can add or subtract or push. With digital you can do these things but WAY faster (with the click of a button) and you can warp, inflate, pull (you cannot stretch clay). Even if you just used traditional type tools in zbrush you could still do only half the work by turning on symmetry. Of course there are many advantages to traditional sculpting as well.
