Sculpting Basics - Tutorial

Dante!

THIS is exactly what this site is all about- thankyou for setting a great precedent

I always knew that you were methodical in your approach and this proves it. Some very interesting approaches to the work and some perfect execution!

Something about the inner thighs though, on the cadian, are not covered in the right thickness/drag/ direction of the cut of fabric. That said, I have found myself recently with a visual angle that just wont be corrected-it is a pain!

Great smooth work that I really dig!
EDIT: can you post an abridged version reply to Mango's tools thread in the resources?

cheers

Yep, the cadian needs some more folds added on the inside of the right leg (left in the pic), the angle isnt great for seeing much of what is there either though.

Thinking about putting some paint to him this weekend so will keep you posted.

Glad you like the tutorial, pretty basic but it was done as a favour for a friend so doesn't get into too much detail.

I'm looking forward to finding the time to experiment with the fimo, it's been sitting on my work bench unopened for months now!

ah!

My next project will be involving this mystery product also! (Plus SSF and MS!)

I look forward to matching our findings!

cheers

Cool!

Having seen what the French guys (Allan C, Jeremy B etc) have achieved with fimo I'm keen to try and emulate some of their successes!

I've also been experimenting with oil paints for smoothing transitions on figures etc so will post a mini review in the painting section after some more experimentation.

Cheers,

Dante

Excellent stuff Dante!

With all the discussion of sculpting between Mark and myself lately this is going to come in very handy. In fact I'm off to buy some clay shapers this afternoon

Also, I've moved the topic to the Resources forum.

Did this project ever get completed? The tutorial was excellent for beginers and those with experience alike. Id have like to have seen the finished mini

Dante hasn't posted here in a long time, but he did document the painting process:
