I wander how he makes that? I wish I could make it, and show it to everyone, but who's that Lego artist who makes these kinda sculptures, but sells them to Lego so you can build them? They came out like...10 years ago? I used to have like a buildable monkey, it came with like.....10000 peices! (exageration)

[shadowspain101]

guy loves his legos. b^-^d

[MakeupUniversity]

love it! My son is going to his first Star Wars Lego building competition today!

[markpigeault]

I Love Nathan Sawaya's Lego Stuff

[techn0FTW]

I wish i could build like him

[dhorrorpt]

awesome

[Thefuzz17901]

Woo he came to my state

[Thalesyo]

its really not that hard to mount a lego-anything, but you gotta know how to draw very well and have a lot of patience and lego pieces, that's all.

this guy Nathan is the best right now for 2 reasons: he really enjoys building using lego pieces and he has a lot of experience.

im just saying there are a lot more people that is capable of doing what he does like he does or even better.

most of the good artists went to drawing or paintin cause its more accesible, and lego kinda is child's toy.

[mgmts2000]

too easy to build

[acerock123]

oh my gosh that many pieces

[Aatix123]

it took me 58 seconds to make the twin towers+4 airplanes

[ShadooTheHedgehog]

@Aatix123 It took me 30 to make a lifesize lego world.

[d0nthate0nme]

This guy is now my hero

[lcalderon311]

Cool

[lolpatiofurniturelol]

i want to know how he does that, if some one knows how or know a website that shows you how to do it, can some one tell me ? thanks

[emyllsomar]

Someone should look up and understand the meaning of "at Top Speed"

[USApwnage]

i can do that

[ICanHasAJackie]

@USApwnage HAHAH really?

[krisercolano]

Omg so if i can play with legos i can be famous

[Jekpogi123]

hey. i made one of those!!

[ICanHasAJackie]

@Jekpogi123 thats hard to believe :]

[Philliefan09]

i have his autograph

[Tyton]

@Philliefan09 yeah well I have his virginity.

[gtgtgt007]

Fantastic piece great work

[joannejoyce]

My dream job. I was addicted to playing with Lego until I was in my early twenties. For me it was like a drug, an addiction.

[roland577]

He probably gets them for free. He might be sponsored by Lego, And gets them free.

[Jack0fallTrad3s]

Lol...song is Gnomenreigen, by Liszt.

[gtgtgt007]

if i had the pieces i could do that

[BirnsS]

@gtgtgt007

Nope, because don't even know how to draw a human body or face, let alone sculpt it.

[gtgtgt007]

@BirnsS what do you know about a persons ability? id like to see your ability...(if any)

[BirnsS]

@gtgtgt007

Why should I share my abilities? Am I the one who pretending that I can do what this guy does? Nope, YOU are that person. I know with 100% certainty that you can't sculpt human bodies in Lego like he can and if you think I'm wrong, then prove it! It's so easy for a bragger like you to pretend that you are so good as him without proof.

[gtgtgt007]

@BirnsS Look on my channel & my jack sparrow drawing.....nuff siad and I'm only 16 btw.....don't be so judgemental, scultpting is about perception and proportion....which is mirrored in drawing, I did my art gcse 2 years early,.....still not convinced? .....noob

[BirnsS]

@gtgtgt007

C'mon hey, get real. Copying a photo in 2D is something totally different than modeling a human body in 3D from imagination with Lego blocks, you're grossly overestimating your own skills son!

[BirnsS]

What he does is art, you're just a carbon copy artist.

[BirnsS]

Just the fact that you make a poor drawing of Cristiano Ronaldo (and trust me, as someone with close to 2 million visitors on my graphic design site I know what a good or bad drawing is) and then claiming that it's the best drawing of him on YouTube just shows how much of a problem you have with your ego.

[gtgtgt007]

@BirnsS Im not trying to brag if it seemed so, I'm In for the art man.....I'm sayin that work of that nature is acheiveable....and again.....I was 12 years old and at the time, it was probably the best on YouTube but I had to try and elevate above the countless YouTube artists. Drawing from a picture is a lot harder than ya think

[BirnsS]

@gtgtgt007

"The best drawing of ronaldo on youtube by me gtgtgt007"

"I was 12 years old and at the time, it was probably the best on YouTube "

No, you're most certainly not someone who brags. ha!Ha!Ha!Ha!

Get real son lol

[BirnsS]

@BirnsS

"Drawing from a picture is a lot harder than ya think "

No it's not. People who don't draw often think that, but the reality is that almost every person can lean how to draw like you or better, just ask art teacher. The only issue is that most people either don't have the interest or more importantly, not the patience.

[BirnsS]

You on the other hand just fool yourself. Just because everybody who is not good in painting is in awe over your paintings on YouTube, has made you believe that you have talent. You, but also your viewers, confuses a learned skill with a talent. if I study guitar for 5 years and practice daily, then lots of people who don't play guitar will most likely call me talented.

[BirnsS]

And you know what the biggest downfall is for any artist; when he start putting themselves on a pedestal. By doing that they're slowly failing to see their own shortcoming and as a result fail to work harder to work on these issues. You can talk all you want little boy, but if you start saying things like "The best drawing of ronaldo on youtube by me gtgtgt007" and "I was 12 years old and at the time, it was probably the best on YouTube " you're basically shooting yourself in the foot.

[gtgtgt007]

@BirnsS I know what ur trying to say and I agree ...I shouldn't get complacent and I'm not....I'm self taught in everything I do... I learnt and built up my ability from scratch with no help...&I dont want to be seen as this egotistical idiot...which again, I'm not. If you really wish I an get rid of that video...it doesn't represent my ability at this moment in time

[BirnsS]

"I dont want to be seen as this egotistical idiot"

Here's a novelty idea; then stop bragging each time! Then also stop claiming that you are as good as one of the most famous Lego artist in the world whose work is in many museums and whose work has been sold for over $10,000.

All that bullshit of you claiming that you don't brag is going one ear in and one ear out if people can see themselves that you DO brag, the proof is all over the internet...duh! You need to look in the mirror.

[gtgtgt007]

@BirnsS "the proof is all over the internet"

In one out dated video and you can't seem to get that into your head....I'm not taking away credit from the artist.tell me where I said that.. I said I could replicate tat piece that is shown in the video and you had to have a hissyfit.....the artist amazing at sculpture I Know!!! No need to tell me

[BirnsS]

@gtgtgt007

"n one out dated video and you can't seem to get that into your head."

Stop being a childish liar for Pete'sa sake. It's not just about the Ronaldo video, it's ALSO about your most recent comment ""I was 12 years old and at the time, it was probably the best on YouTube" and ALSO your third comment in which you claim to be as good as the world's most famous Lego artist! THREE times son, THREE times you brag like hell. You're pathetic kid, you know that? Spank! Spank! Spank! Bye

[BirnsS]

I have to go now.. One last thing; the biggest downfall for any artist, and I say this with 30+ years of experience in that area, is to overestimate your own skills. Also take every comment on YouTube with a grain of salt. The best critics are still the true artists and not the ones who can't even draw a stick figure. Now you are just fooling yourself. If you want to be honest to yourself, then have the guts to show your work at sites like Cgtalk, wetcanvas, artpapa, gfxartist, etc.

[gtgtgt007]

@BirnsS Ok fair enough...one thing I couldn't give 2 shits if u think I brag or not....I can't see why ability cannot keep developing.... It's developed slot I still got quite a bit of time to develop into an all rounder BTW I DRAW 4 FUN I DONT GIVE A TOSS ABOUT CRITICS OR THAT STIFF BULLSHIT I COULDNT GIE A DAMN OF I WANTED TO....I'M ACTING CHILDISH COS IM 16 LOL

[gtgtgt007]

@BirnsS Lol u make me laugh, I don't need to prove myself... U need to prove to me That u are in the postion to make snap judgements.....that ronaldo pic resembled him to an extent....look at the oldest Ronaldo pic, it doesn't resemble him at all so my comment was right.....bragging is only for the ppl who can prove themselves...like how I have already done

[BirnsS]

@gtgtgt007

No son, the only one who makes a fool out of himself is the one who denies that he's bragging when he says things like "The best drawing of ronaldo on youtube by me gtgtgt007" and "I was 12 years old and at the time, it was probably the best on YouTube ". I've doing art for a much longer time than you and can guarantee you that your ego will eventually limit your development as an artist, mark my words.

[BirnsS]

But let's not wander off, the thing that started this discussion is you claiming "if i had the pieces i could do that ". And that kiddo, is your THIRD example of bragging, considering that Nathan Sawaya is one the top Lego artists the world, with his work in museums and being sold often for over $10,000 a piece! And then a 16 year old punk like you come in here and says "if i had the pieces i could do that "!

Get real and start working on your ego, because it stinks kiddo....sigh

[MrRichardhampshire]

wow you are good at building with lego I wish I wish I could be like you

from matthew richard hampshire

[DiepSpartan117]

nOOOOOOOO you kids suck don't know anything he didn't buy them he's a legoman n work at legoland because when he was born to work at lego with his father and his father died and he becomes a legoman n build an artist lego at legoland so i saw him at summer time

[sulianaw]

[zath222]

that is cool where does he get all the lego froms with just the bricks

[Roy9030]

He buys them from Lego, 10s of thousands at a time

[MeetTheCryptid]

@zath222 Lego (the company) will provide him with the bricks for free, because he's advertising Lego.

[LegoBatmanCentral]

He might buy them at lego stores from a pick a brick wall or orders them from lego via special order

[luigiguy6789]

awsome

[InvaderZim897]

Think about it, if he'd built THAT fast, there'd be a sonic boom every millisecond, and the camera would have been blown away, along with his work.

[petlovergirll]

Do you know how long it REALLY took?

[DubbleyBubbley]

[UTubePowerUser]

[releasethedrag]

OK, DUH he didn't build it that fast, you fuckheads,  it surprises me how stupid anybody can be as to believing that this video wasn't sped up.
