Sculpting with Monster Clay! - Mask MADNESS Part 1

[@Elkyrie2]

Bill's like that one friend at school who always goes "oh I'm really not great at this" and gets a B on the project lmao

[@erictruong324]

Would be more relateable if the friend got an A

[@pfwunco8637]

Lol a B does mean that they're not good at it

To be honest i hate my artwork but people always say it's great........i still gonna hate it though.

If you are able to take an anatomy and physiology class somewhere, DO IT! It helps so much with retention of proportion and locations of major muscle and bones in the body. Comparative anatomy for animals (real of fantastical) just stretches those locations and proportions. Taxidermy is another great skill transfer. Keep at it Bill!!!

Thanks so much!

@@psycho_panda-1806 I think they're saying that Draw With Jazza brought them here b/c he did a thing w/ monster clay so they probably looked for it on KZbin after that.

YYEEEEEP. I came from him XD

[@nutmeg418]

This is a really interesting insight into different types of artists I think. Nick seems like the type that has fun but takes his work super seriously and in certain types of people this personality can be less adaptable where Bill seems to be in it for the fun 😂. They're both awesome masks

[@MissTopsieX]

Not only informative, but you guys are hilarious!

Got that same book!! One of my favorites. If your looking for quality images of any skull you can think of, get this book!

Dentist tools are also good for sculpting clay with, and callipers for symmetry 🙂 @16:58 that’s fimo sculpting tool there extremely expensive compared to other tools.

If you want more steel ball sculpting tools like they're using, look up fondant ball tools! They are the exact same tool honestly, plus they come in tons of sizes and are way cheaper lol they are in my daily use for both ceramic and polymer clay work.

[@punishedprops]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing. =D

[@avamasquerade]

Just marathoned your videos and you made me realize I've been trying to make my sculpt material do the paint job too which has been slowing me down considerably. *Thank you* ....I might actually be able to start finishing things again 😅

[@punishedprops]

Hey you're welcome! It's easy to get a little too focused on the final vision and forget what each step and material can do for us. Have fun!

[@brandonnewell4552]

You're right,I will want to know how to mold and cast the masks! I don't want to wait a week though.

[@punishedprops]

Just a few more days!

[@pixl3l]

Rakes and ball tools are life ^^

[@punishedprops]

You speak true truths.

[@andy-in-indy]

That was fun and helpful. I look forward to seeing the next part - I have a character that will need a partial mask that I want to make. I have held off doing this because I don't have the confidence (I flunked clay modeling in 1st grade: I was suppose to make a snake and it came out as a cinnamon roll. . . .)

[@punishedprops]

This is so perfect!

[@Cullens_Workshop]

You got this! we all fail the first time, just keep trying.

[@MarinCV]

so ... Monster clay can be re-used after molding ? I mean you don't really bake it like a normal clay and it's not really drying so ... when you've finished your mold you can juste destory your piece, keep the clay and using it again on another project ? Right ?

[@punishedprops]

That is correct! Since it's waxed based it will never dry out, only harden a bit. You can reheat it and get it back to a working or even completely liquid state, make something again, and destroy/reuse it again!

[@Cullens_Workshop]

Yep! I've known guys who've had the same clay for over 15 years. I do recommend covering any sculpt with a trash bag when you're not working on it. it helps keep the pet hair out! When all done with a sculpt I put all the caly into a crockpot on low then let it get to a liquid state and filter it through a wire strainer. This will help you filter out any stuff like silicone, plasti paste, fiberglass resin, or pet hair. Then I pour the liquid clay into different containers like silicone meatloaf, brownie trays and wrap the cooled clay in aluminum foil. that way i have a variety of chunks of clay ready for for all kinds of projects.

Dude that’s coooool. I so want a skull mask

[@jessical4866]

Actually quite a few people (especially those near forests or highways) have collections of skulls and other bones. In America, quite a few are coyotes and small mammals, but hunters obviously can get their hands on things like deer and bear more easily. Not only are they great resources for anatomy and science, but the physical pieces can also be sources for aesthetic and inspiration.

[@punishedprops]

Absolutely!

[@celikart]

Monster clay looks so fun but I can't make moulds of stuff yet (because I'm only a child who doesn't have her own studio/work room, just a messy bedroom 😂), so I guess I'll wait a couple of years and stick to polymer clay... Or just practise with monster clay untill I can get mould-making things 👌.

[@punishedprops]

Polymer clay is great, too! Ace of Clay makes super awesome sculptures with it: kzbin.info/door/Q23sZIROxm_bCRnZpUc-Ywvideos That's something we want to try in the future, too.

I covered my ed head with fiberglass resin or xtc-3d, often you find your sculpting tools can dig into the ed head.

[@punishedprops]

Great idea!

[@dfcprops3849]

Really interesting to see! I just made my own dragon bust out of air hardening clay, not monster clay, but similar enough. A fun challenge, even if it was a little time consuming. And you gotta watch out for cracks... the worst part is coming back to it to keep it moistened.

[@Captain_MonsterFart]

That's why I much prefer oil based clay.

[@the_haylien]

Where can I get a stone sculpting form like yours? I'm looking for a half-head I can sculpt on, and put in the oven to support oven-bake clay.

I don't like how everything is a question with this guy.

[@dantertart5118]

put the staples in and take them off so that you can put real ones on the final object

[@punishedprops]

That's certainly an option for you if you want to put the effort in! Bill decided to have the staples be part of the mold so that nothing would come through on the inside of the mask to cause discomfort. It's also going to be much simpler to reproduce the masks without having to manually add staples every time one is cast.

Ere, I wonder if some tools that are used in acrylic nail making would be useful ? Great vid, thanks. Lv xo

[@vstar7196]

Human skulls are not symmetrical so need to waste time trying to make it so. And you don’t need to “scratch” the surface for additional clay to stick to it. Warm clay will bite into the sculpt and stick with no problem after it cools.

[@Larandar]

Top quality video, thanks :) On a side node, it does look like clay we have here but more like wax ^_^

Quick question what head sculpture did u use

[@eddieharris3150]

I'm no one but... I gotta ask why didn't u go deeper with the noses interior, that would b hollow. It appears 2 b plenty of room. As well as, why it seems so vertical, when it seems that all outside ridges on skull noses r angled, including human. Once again thou, I'm just nobody but, a curious maker of things.

[@isabeaumiller7931]

I have a clay warming oven too!! Whispers:*it’s a microwave*

[@punishedprops]

Microwaves work great for Monster Clay, but please be cautious, like Jazza was, to avoid burns. Monster Clay in a microwave is like creating a giant pizza roll--the outside is slightly warm, but the inside is super lava hot.

[@OttyrCosplay]

"It just looks like poop!" Made me spit out my drink lmao. Also can Nick read the phonebook or narrate my life k pls thx. Great vid and I am looking forward to this series! (Tho now y'all got me worried that my sculpting tools are lower quality, yeeps, time to bend them all). I guess better to find out now than when I am elbow deep in my first sculpting projects!

[@septendecim7390]

Would a hair dryer work for heating it to a workable state mid project if you don't have a heat gun?

[@punishedprops]

Yeah, a hair dryer should get hot enough to soften the clay.

[@AnCafE4TW]

Is it possible to use a regular foam wig head or something similar to sculpt onto? Or would that definitly stick to the styrofoam while pulling the sculpt off..? Maybe there is something I could seal the styrofoam with so the clay and mold will come off?

[@punishedprops]

The styrofoam material should be fine! The problem is a lot of those heads are pretty small, so make sure yours will work for your head size.
