I normally prefer watching non-narrated sculpting videos, but your willingness to share every part of your process is so personal and inspiring. Your art is incredible, but your passion is addictive. Keep killing it, Art, can't wait for the next video.

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you so much! I try to leave it all on the table, haha. (see what I did there? 😂😂) Hopefully I can get faster and better over time :)

I haven't sculpted in almost 20 years, your videos have given me the drive and inspiration to pick up my tools again. Thank you so very much.

"If you don't know, don't guess" is PERFECT advice for an artist! Something that took me years to learn!

Probably my favorite sculpture of yours! Insane insane insane! You’re such an incredible humble creative artist!

I love all your works. Especialy where you fail in some steps, you fix it in such a beautiful way! Please keep on sculpting and releasing!

I love that you tell the story of the character. I feel like I really understand why she is posed the way she is. I can also imagine a movie scene in my head that lead to this point. I love your passion for the craft and I can’t wait to binge the rest of your videos!

Please continue to make videos in the same fashion. Its so therapeutic, love the gentle background music, like how you edit sculpting content and voice over lecture. Keep up the good work, this is my 4th video of yours, i am afraid to run out before you make a new one

[@Tusk926]

Lovely sculpture, but.. should not her brush be pointed slightly past the point of the final stroke in that character?

[@ItalianJesus3]

Looks great. Really enjoy this one

[@brittg9987]

everyone is afraid to use references, but let's be honest, but we always do so much better when we finally cave! also, women come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, its hard to say there's any right or wrong way of depicting women; in fact, only trying to do soft, feminine faces all the time usually runs the risk of doing the same face over and over, which you put far too much care into your work to resort to! but in this case, you were aiming for a softer look, and i'd say you got it! anyway, she came out wonderfully, you absolutely captured the intimate, candid feeling you were going for. she's got this air of calm concentration about her, too. its really impressive how well you capture little abstract details like that!

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you! Yeah I agree about faces, which is probably why I was so resistant to doing the soft feminine face to begin with... since it's what almost everyone defaults to. I'm glad you think I actually got it right (this time) :)

[@maetheechongchitnant810]

You really nailed this one. Beautiful sculpture, I also like that it has a completely different feel than your previous ones. Keep at it brother!

[@danaaxelson6200]

With failure is success. An absolutely fantastic piece. Hero is one of my all time favorite movies. I know the scene you are replicating. The characters swordsmanship comes from the strokes of the painting. I so wish this could eventually become a GK kit. It would be grail of my works. I am so inspired and awed by this I am taking breath away. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful sculpture.

Thank you, Dana :) You're very kind. I'm so glad you like the sculpture. One day, if I can ever afford a good 3D scanner and printer, I hope to make kits of this piece.

[@ArtChongArt]

Thanks Paulina. I try my best to just roll with it. I'll tell you a secret, though. I've actually sculpted four pieces for the channel so far... but one of them was too emotional for me and I had to scrap the whole video. All that to say, I think I know what you mean... it can be scary to try to put your ideas into reality. I often wonder what the art work says about me as a person. Of course it never leads me anywhere good. All I can do is just give it a shot and if it works it works if it doesn't hopefully I learned something from it. If you ever share your work on IG or some other place, please do feel free to tag me and share. I'd love to see it, whatever medium it may be :)

I mean leaving her topless could be influential, because the rest of her is not sexualized. She’s elegant and in an intimate moment of creation which is quite beautiful. I understand why you didn’t do it but as a portrait and figure artist I find the human body so beautiful.

[@eternal7912]

I would like to get into sculpting some day, and one of the big reasons I haven't yet (the other being distractions) is storage. How do you manage storing all of you're sculptures? Obviously you have some on shelves in the background, but what happens when you run out of shelving space? Its not like you can neatly stack them in boxes.

[@emilyblythejones]

I’m new to your channel after a fellow sculptor recommended it, so wild about how you detail your entire process. Video editing alone is A THING. This piece turned out so great and I loved watching it come together. I just discovered a trick recently working on some relief designs - with your transfer trick with the graphite, there is a toner trick I’ve been wild about that you might also like. If you print out fresh toner reversed and then pour molten clay over it, let it completely cool and then peel off the paper, the toner transfers to the surface of the clay. Works so well for quickly mocking up forms and lettering like you did with the calligraphy. I’m a sculptor but also a mold maker and very curious what you end up doing with your next steps. I’m going to keep checking out your work and maybe find my answer!

[@emilyblythejones]

Also! Dude! The paper towel trick!! Amazing. Really helped me out.

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you Emily :) You're very kind. I'll definitely have to keep that toner-transfer trick in mind. Sounds like a useful tool to have in the quiver! I'll have to learn mold-making one of these days. I'm just so focused on sculpting right now, haha

[@lolyfrenzy12]

I just bought a bunch of materials (NSP medium) and some tools.. I am really inspired by your art to get back to the hobby. I had a huge gap away from art and now I feel ready to get back to work. Thank you so much for the great work, it is a huge source of inspiration and also educational material 🥰 Please let me know if you have any tips for beginners in anatomy or where I can seek helpful material (references, etc) Thank you so much again 😊

[@ArtChongArt]

Thanks Bebe :) For beginner anatomy... I think proportions and major forms is something you should try to concentrate on at the start. No need to worry about detailing rippling muscles or wrinkles and undulations until you've got some basics under your belt. just doing a "blank" form in a t-pose like how I start each sculpture is not a bad way to practice at least that much. (it counts as practice for me every time I do it :) ) As for references, any old anatomy chart for artists is not bad to start with. Once you're comfortable, Dynamic Anatomy by Hogarth isn't bad. Anatomy for Sculptors is great, but it's more of a reference book so it can be hard to use without some basics under your belt. An under-appreciated reference, I think, is athletes in motion. Look for photos and videos of athletes doing their thing, because they care more about the action than the camera. For this reason, Instagram models are AWFUL references. Hope this helps. Please feel free to tag me on IG if you post your sculpts there!
