I did it! I watched all three video the other day and bought some Super-Sculpey oven bake clay today and made the baby Elephant in about one hour. It was my first sculpture since I was 12. I am now 50. I work 1600 Miles away from my wife and children and need to keep myself busy when not working. I was so happy I made this elephant that I took pictures and sent it too my family. Being a married man away from home I am sure you can see the importance of a wholesome hobby. Thank you much for showing me how to do this.

Finally someone who teaches me something!!!!! Tons of other people goof off and tend to talk about anything and everything but the sculputre/model

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. I appreciate hearing your comments because it helps me know what information people need to get started. I'll be releasing more videos soon.

I am self taught, but you have made me see an easier way. Using segments instead of sculpting from one solid mass, which I was doing. Your way is much faster and efficient. How wonderful, and kind of you to make these videos for the world, bravo to you!!!

This will be sooo helpful! Im trying to sculpt an elephant out of fondant for a cake I'm making.

i LOVE THE WAY YOU TEACH !!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, i AM STARTING TO WORK WITH CLAY AND IT WAS AN ELEPHANT EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO DO !. COULDNT BE MORE HAPPY TO FIND YOU !

A natural born teacher, I might say! Thank you so much! I loved this tutorial.

Thanks, glad you like it!

Thanks for your nice comment. Please visit my Learn Sculpture website to see more about clay and tools. It is a lot easier to do if you have the right tools, but your hands will always be your best tool.

Thank you for the video! I appreciate your explanation of how to use the different tools. I am trying to begin learning to sculpt and this has been very helpful.

Thanks for your nice comments. I'll have a workbook available soon, to help you check the proportions of your sculpture using images of the different views.

WOW you're brilliant! I can't say I just started because I don't even have the tools, I really don't know what to buy to begin with.

Great video! I appreciated you showing your process in selecting the image to use - thanks

Best Tutorials ! Thank u very much !

Thank you for your presentations. They are clearly delivered, well organized and very informative. I plan to make the tools shown out of thin copper wire bound on to a thin dowel. Inspiring creativity!

that sounds really cool!

Great stuff. This was my favorite thing to do when I was a kid. But there was no class that promoted clay molding in my area, so I quit after ten years doing this.

For the video, I'm using Le Beau Touche HM by Chavant. For my larger projects, I prefer to use very hard styling clays.

It is so hard to find quality information on sculpting. Your video is easily the best I have come across so far. Thank you so much!

Excellent tutorial! Thank you very much.

hi. ,your artwork is very nice. ,i download it and watch over and over again until i can mold one. ,thanks for your video

great lesson...really enjoying it!

Thank you, I just recently finished my elephant. Not near as nice but your lessons helped a lot. Thank you so much!

awesome - please keep adding tutorials...

Great tutorial! Keep up the good work!

This is fantastic tutorial, thanks for sharing:)

Sculpting is like mathematics!

Thank you for this video. Can you tell me where to get the metal tool that you are using for smoothing the clay.

Great video! I'm thinking about getting some Sculpty Firm to try this:)

That's so interesting. thanks for sharing

Be lated Happy Guru Poornima Sir🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

what kind of clay do u use

Hi! This helps alot! I am doing an imitation of Antoni Gaudi's style for my final project. I am doing a sculpture of a baby elephant and a parrot on its ear that will be covered in colorful broken glass mosaic. But i have a quick question; should I use a wire frame for the elephant to make it stronger?

Amanda i so agree

Thanks, I appreciate your feedback. It's nice to know the lessons are helpful. I'm working on a new one now...

Hello great video, just wondering I'm working with pottery clay I've been doing pottery on the wheel for a year now but havn't touched sculpting just yet...what would be the best method to hollow out the elephant would it be to start the back in a double pinch pot? or is there a better way? :)

Great lesson for all.

Thanks for watching!

I wonder if you can help me on an issue. Can we make a figure 'core' from air dry clay and then, after that 'basic form' is dry, make, on top of it, the finish layer with the fine details with Fimo or other oven bake clay? Would the air dry clay core stand fit over the baking process?

Thank you sir 👍👍👍

Amazing!!!!! :D

Amazing

What is the dough-like material you use?

Hello whatisasculpture!! I am very inspired and thank you very much for your tutorial but im still rubbish.... Do you have any tips on what shapes i should start with for sculpting a walnut? Its really bumpy and rounded so i dont know how to make one............ help is much appreciated Thanks Very Much!! Genina

thanks you really helped

Hi there. Adding length of metal wires (e.g. for legs and trunk) would be allowed by this technique? And would it actually create a stronger structure? Or maybe it would be not useful or even worse? Thank you,

What type of clay his he using?

what kind of clay do you use?

Hello! I'm from Russia and I am searching for a person, who makes models out of clay. I need to make one mini-model (8,5 cm). But it seems that there are only a few of such people here, in Russia, and in Europe... I tried to use Google, but couldn't find anybody. Well, I've found you =) Don't exactly know, how you could help me.. do you make mini-models individually? Or may be you know such people somewhere nearer here, in Europe... ? plz help!

Awesome! I am from INDIA. What type of clay are you using ?

Very good lesson, but could you add where you can get all three tools? 😊

Which clay is used in it?

fantastic job sir. cannot stop watching. love it . please add more videos. also kindly tell us what clay are you using. and how do i get it in india

How do you make your scpultures stand

Is that white air drying clay or which type is that?

when people do sculpturing do they use more brown clay or gray clay because I think the red clay is only to use in the Roundtable they call a potter's wheel where you can make vases with the red clay and everything

can you use polymer clay too? and do you have to bake this kind of clay?

thanks

Nice 👌👌👌

Is that a regular Clay that we can bought on a school supply shop?

thank you i did make baby elephant. thank you so much, how can i chow you the photo of it?
