I'm also curious about using Super Sculpy. I have been using normal clay, and for small detail, that crashed and burned fast. I'm trying to create a model female on a small scale and I can make each part individually pretty well. My issue was when I had to stick those parts together, it went horribly wrong...
I was curious as to whether Super sculpy is any better to press together? I had to apply too much force on my last one, and it all went misshappen :(
sorry for not responding sooner the way i sculpt is sculpting the piece and then cutting the sculpture up. it just makes it alot easier getting the anatomy correct. and as far a clay goes if you want something a bit harder try sculpey firm its not the normal super sculpey color (its grey) but it holds the detail alot better when your handling your piece.
thanks for the question and if you have any other questions feel free to ask i will try to get to them quicker next time
yeah i do this all the time if i have a piece with lots of detail and i dont want to ruin it while sculpting something else on it i just bake it. i have not had any problems myself so you should be fine
@swampygoose Pre heat the oven for the first bake. Bake your first piece for only like 5 or 8 minutes. Do each segment like this and you will lower you risk of burning the piece!
thanks logo im glad you like the video. they say there are two types of sculptors ones thats add clay bit by bit and ones that add alot of clay and shape it out with tools and there hands. i have always sculpted this way but i think the reason for it is the pieces i sculpt are so small it gives me more control in the long run. if i see a part of the sculpture that i think is not the right shape or size i just add clay till i like what i see. thanks for the question! : )
@johns6160 thank you for the response. I am about to make a few models to help me illustrate a children's book, will make it easier to see the characters from all angles. One more question... when you bake the sculpey is that it hardened and finished or is it still malleable?
the clay i use is super sculpey and it never dries unless you bake it in the oven. i have stuff i had sculpted 2 to even 3 years ago that i havent baked. you can find it at any hobby shop or craft store.
Ok thanks for the help. Ill let you know how they come out. Would it be alright to galez the clay once it has baked in PVA Glue? It's kinda like a glaze in some way. lol :)
its funny you ask about putting glue on a finished sculpture because i have tried this myself and i would say dont do it. sometimes you get this white cloudy color that covers the glue im guessing its just what happens when the glue dries.
Wow this is good john!! Can't believe i missed this one, lol Just watched you do them teeth twice!!! So is this what you mean by sketch? looks like more then that to me =D
Love the video! Thanks for posting it. I was wondering what you do about the wire sticking out. Do you just bake it with it in there? Can you get it out some how?
Hi I love your sculpt! Can you please tell me, if I want to make a PVC figure more muscular, can I apply a layer of Super Sculpey (flesh/skin toned) over the whole body of the figure and let it be without baking? I'm new in the craft please forgive me if it's a silly question. Thank you!
@KICKROCKS561 Thanks 4 the heads up. Im plannig a Pitt, a Maxx, a Thanos, then a galactus. Many studies for all, for many more years... Youtube really ias awesome for us artists. My ultimate goal... Bronse "Rifts" steff, but endgame = cast Silver Glitterboy and SAMAS suits. Variants like the NEMA PA's or USA-PA-8 Space SAMAS...
can u help me how to put a hair sculpt on my MU hulk figure?:) i wanted 2 make his hair a lltle long lyk the movie hulk:) and very very very very nice work man!
sculpting hair is imo very hard and i have struggeld with it myself for awhile. i guess for me the way i learned was sculpting the primal rage piece i did you can find it in my videos. i would say just get lots of refrence on hair and repetition is also key
i really started making this video because you seemed so interested in wanting to know how to sculpt so i figured i would start a whole line of sculpting videos
Awesome job man;))ive said it before and i,ll say it again your an artist without a doubt,.keep up the great work,and a fantastic idea of starting your new line of video,s,its gonna be awesome and a real pleasure to watch=))5/5
Fantastically done! Love the video!
