i-draws-dinosaurs:i-draws-dinosaurs:Soooo Adelaide went into Lockdown 2.0 for like,,,, half a week and in that time I managed to start making a full-on sculpture of a Ceratosaurus because apparently palaeoart instagram is full of people making absolutely sick dinosaur sculptures? And so I was like aw yeah let’s give that a go, like someone who’s ever attempted to sculpt a dinosaur before. Which I haven’t. But like hey it can’t be that hard right?It is, it is very much that hard. I may have managed to work on this sculpture in the exact opposite order of body parts to sculpt and that made things a little tricky. But hey, learning for next time!I’m definitely gonna keep working on this lad cause like at this point I am absolutely addicted to the process of sculpting this stuff, it’s so great. I made a stamp out of a lump of clay to make the scales and that was super fun to use, the clay I bought kinda lowkey sucks to work with? But like I’m getting used to it.So yeah, sculpting funtimes! I’ll keep y’all updated!fksdjaghasklj little tip toe man@plasmagruntcalvin The red stuff I used for the main bulk is Sculpey Original, it comes in terracotta and white and it’s pretty light and soft which makes it good for building up the rough forms without adding a lot of extra weight. I bought like 2.5kg of it cause it was on sale and I had a gift card but’s it’s usually a bit pricey.The black clay is called PolySoft and it’s not great, it’s kinda got a bit of a rubbery texture to it that makes it hard to work with? Then again I’ve never worked with like, the fancy firm Sculpey clay that everyone likes so I don’t really know what to expect from good clay?Basically, I’m not an expert on this at all and my clay purchases were based on “what can I afford with this gift card” rather that buying the top-quality materials so like, please don’t take these as like,,, a professional endorsement or anything! -- source link
