I have a new course teaching the fundamentals of sculpting! You'll learn the ins and outs of sculpting from creating basic armatures to complex anatomical studies.

I am trying to decide it they eyes are too high in the head or if they are too small. Any thoughts would be appreciated

I just finished an alabaster head with a steampunk feel. I learned a lot from the figure sculpture class by Andrew and think this is one of my best faces to date.

HI, New Sculpture

So the second I got done with it I realized I had no gesture. I really like the shapes that the chest make in this pose and the concave parts of the armpits and i think it's clear that I focused mostly on that.

Hi Andrew, just joined the course have been enjoying the videos and trying to catch up with the assignments… this is my first sculpture ever as the “$5 challenge” j-Mac soft clay over a tinfoil bean using just my hands and a toothpick from the “Eva” photos. Excited about the course and look forward to your feedback

Have you checkout Robert Tolone Mold Making Site on YouTube?
He just put out a Glove Mold Video yesterday using a high stretch silicone rubber for doing a cast of a female bust. He makes some very interesting points on mold making and the materials. Thanks again, for your approach and information on sculpturing.

hello everybody
I am glad that I decided to buy the course. I hope that the knowledge received here will allow me to develop. I have one small problem - despite the fee, I still don't see premium lessons, only short videos from YT

Hello Andrew - this is a really question about the website: when I open the My Classroom link the dashboard window opens and the message in the block below My Profile says that I have not added any courses to My Classroom. This concerns me since I have purchased your figure sculpting fundamentals course. A glitch, or am I missing something? Will appreciate your reply. Thank you.

Armature prototype #2, about 8.5 inches in height. Done all with one continuous piece of wire. Lots to learn. Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!

Ugh. I've been working on my first sculpture (in many many years) and my first full in-the-round sculpture with oil-based clay. That is where the "ugh" comes in. So many little bumps and tiny divots.
I'm learning a lot. Made my first ever wire armature and overdid it, so that has been a bit problematic, and working so small (like a one inch face) with no "real" tools is a challenge. But the surface! Google posts and you tube describe using various solvents to smooth. I'd almost like a rough texture, but it is a bit late for that now, and how does one do that without losing detail on something so small (@10" tall)?
Suggestions? I'm trying a tooth brush for a tiny bit of texture, but don't know if it's going to work. Am thinking of putting it into the fridge....Will cold help me smooth with my fingers? Trying to burnish with a spoon or stone doesn't seem to work. Burnishing with an eraser makes the clay a different color until smoothed out by a finger. Aw, well, I'll keep going.
Am looking forward to learning how to use the Davinci app with a sculpture. AND how to make oil-based clay smooth.

Re: Our first assignment and the "challenge"--
Because the challenge photos are on You Tube, do we need to use the bra or can we put in real breasts?

Hi Andrew. I'm not sure if this has been mentioned earlier somewhere, but do videos get released on the same day every week? It's just to know when I should check for new material so I know it's there..
Thanks!

Andrew, Is this the place your students post questions? Or do we talk on Instagram? Or You Tube? Anyway, this may be a silly question, but my old batch of plastaline is two different colors--clay that has been schmushed together but has not been blended. I'm thinking that if they are not blended, that it will affect the way I can see shadows and planes, particularly when working small. Am I just worrying needlessly or do I actually have a legitimate concern. ( Partly, I'm just being lazy because it takes time to heat and then blend clay.)

Hi Andrew! I’ve purchased the course and really can’t wait. You recommended non-drying modelling clay but i’m not sure if super sculpey counts?
