As a former stone carver, it thrills me to see people posting the traditional sculpting techniques mixed in with newer technologies like 3d scanning. Shows that the old methods are still very viable, and shouldn’t be lost to the newer generations. Thanks for posting your videos!

The cross over Interests me. many of our tools have evolved but many processes are the same as they have been for centuries ⚒️

Im 71 and never cease to be amazed how skillfull some are. And modern tech. I think also of the skills with the old technologies e.g. the Ancient Egyptian sculptors and before that. thanks for sharing, most enjoyable.

The Italians and the Greeks.

my friend's papa was a "marmista" (a marble cutter) here in italy, he died of a respiratory problem caused by not using professional breathing protection

the fact that people used to do this with a hammer and chisel, could not have been any sort of an easy task whatsoever.

todays society is against value. people hate real talent, people hate truth, wisdom, and everything what made our civilization. if an onlyfans lemming would start his own "art-channel", and she would be making pathetic trash sculptures from cardboard boxes, but in a bikini, she would gain 3million followers within half year and people would be like "OMG you are not just making my dick hard, but you are a REAL ARTIST TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". these people just want to take revenge on their aimless lives, and they want to live in a world, where famous people have no gift, ability, value or anything. they want ordinary people to be famous, because thats the only way for them to believe/think that 1) one day, they can be famous too, because it doesnt require anything. being ordinary is more than enough 2) they would never be envious again, because of 1) no one really thinks about those painfully bad art-channels that they are "omg" but saying nice things about worthless crap is always satisfying for the ego, because it requires no honor, moral, or self respect nowadays people are so insecure and ashamed that they are almost unable to evaluate anything what reminds them that they should do better

Could you maybe talk about the "matrix of the face" and how you were mapping from the cast to the piece? That was super interesting and I've never seen it before.

It's a process to get 3d points of reference In depth width and height that gives a map or matrix to carve to. I talk through the whole process in alot of detail in my previous video titled, how I carved a rock icon. where I carved David Bowie's face in marble. Check it out ⚒️

Your incredible patience paid off.. Beautiful work sir, you captured soul. I say this as a self taught super realist oil painter myself. I love Michelangelo, and I love marble. In a sense it's soft, and sensitive. You need to be very focused and light handed to work it. So many people think it's solid rock, it's not, it's crystal. ❤

It's amazing the level of detail the scan picks up. Even though the pointing tool i use for depth measurement wasn't used by Sculptors untill the 1700's...
