We just created a new YouTube channel called Proko 3D! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVJZ_7rNdX2NO2K8pG4uF5w We’re developing so much new content now that it makes sense to create a dedicated channel for traditional and digital sculpting. This Thursday, @Andrew Keith is releasing a course on the basics of figure sculpting in clay. The free content from that course will be available on that YouTube channel, published weekly :) We need your help to make this new channel thrive. If sculpting and 3D modeling interest you at all, please subscribe and share the channel with anyone else you think might benefit from some sculpting lessons. It would really help us out to bring you even more Proko content!

I've just gotten into sculpting and would like some criticism for my first tries to know what to work on. Be as harsh as you like!

I'm in my second in-person Sculpting class ever and loving working on my female torso 50% scale sculpture here in Australia. The sculpture is using White Sun Clay which our instructor says dries in about 3 weeks and then can be finished with 'paint/spray paint whatever...' Does anyone have images of different finishes they've tried on this kind of clay? We still have 3 sessions to do to finish her but I don't want to paint her in something that looks awful and regret as I don't have the $ to invest in moulding it right now.

Hi everyone, I made this sculpture with Giotto brand plasticine which was also used in elementary school so to speak. Now I would like to know from the more experts if there is a way to make it harden, and if I have to color it, what kind of colors do you recommend? Thank you all so much and I know that there are better materials for doing these things but my creative and experimental streak started once I saw plasticine XDXDXDXDXDXD

Must master sculpture

Recently got it so new to the program and sculpting. Any thoughts?

Hi all, can anyone guide where could I get human portrait references in all angles to keep as reference for Clay portrait sculpture. Please suggest. I asked Andrew but no answer till now.

If you've benefitted from the Figure Sculpting Fundamentals course or the Portrait Sculpting course I'd love to hear about it! I'm looking for student reviews on the course to use in future marketing. Even if you've only been able to learn from the free lessons and would like to leave a review it would be greatly appreciated!

I created a DnD inspired Troll from the 1st and second edition tabletop RPG illustrations (Monster Manual). I figured I needed something to add to my portfolio that would be fun to sculpt.

Caricature Sculpture Challenge Submissions HERE! I did this challenge through my Patreon where you can subscribe if you'd like to be a part of future sculpture challenges.

Hello friends! I have a challenge to teach 400 people at a plastic surgery congress to create a sculpture of the trunk, abs and pecs in clay/putty; could you give me suggestions on how to do this in 20 steps? I thank everyone for the help

Hello Wai here from Malaysia. My very first wire armature. Took me an hour plus to make it. I know it is not even close to 'good'. Far from it. I do not have anything but 18 gauge to work on. It is 1 1/2 inch to one cranial unit. It is about 17 inch. Have been around most of the hardware stores here at my home city IPOH. Most of the people thought I must be crazy. They only have steel wires. I have long way to go before I start applying the clay. I do not have enough clay to work on either so I will reinforce the armature with aluminum foil. Guess lots of but not too much aluminum foil.

Hey I’m reaching out to ask for images of your first sculptures! If you are anything like me they were probably pretty terrible and you probably made some common mistakes that most beginners make. I need references for an upcoming lesson on “top 10 sculpting mistakes” so if you’d like your work featured submit it here! Don’t be self conscious and the worse the better! Haha whether its the face, a feature study, torso, or full figure. If it’s a sculpture and its terrible post images below! (If possible good quality, well lit images) I look forward to seeing your worst work!

When I was a child I play with clay, but now I really wont working marble and woods, in future there are some videocourse about this materials?

Hi, I have this school assignment but the teacher is negligent, so I have no clue if I'm doing it right. Can you give me feedback? Thanks! Carlos.

I did a digital sculpture portrait of my dog disguised as a robot.

I learn from videos, but a bibliography for all community, what's the books are "must have" , before practice? there are some difference from russian school, american school and italian school or other country sculpture school?
