Sculpture Class Brief (class of September 2010)

Hello everyone!

and congratulations for signing up or the first intake of sculpture students!

Your first class starts in 2nd September.
followed by three other classes every Thursday

9th Sept

16th Sept

23rd Sept

Before you go off and start sculpting, you will need a good reference of your model.
go to cg sites and forums and look for appropriate orthographic reference.
I googled up "model sheet" and these are what i found.

I want you guys to look for a reference that has a good front side and back views,
aswell as a clear drawing, not some unknown sketch.

Also be modest! don't take a design so complicated no one would even try to sculpt.
find art that you like but also feel that you can pull off.

Here are some sculpture web links that i go to, to get inspired. Hope it does the same for you :)

Conceptart.org
Shiflett Brothers
Statue Forum
Joseph Tsang
Steve Wang


Here are a number of examples, feel free to present to me all ranges of design, from cute, grotesque, creature, human, mech.

REMEMBER TO EMAIL ME THE DESIGNS BEFORE CLASS!!

after i have approved of the design, you can go ahead and print them out.

MAKE SURE THE SIZE OF THE PRINT IS THE SAME SIZE AS THE SCULPTURE!!























So just a friendly reminder once again,

1) Look for reference
2) email me the reference
3) Print the reference to the size of the sculpture you want to sculpt
4) Prepare money to purchase tools and clay from me
5) don't forget to come to class


If you have anymore concerns, pop me an email or give me a pm at facebook.

Sculpting Class @ The One Academy



Hellow fellow readers, especially Digital Animation students at The One Academy,
i'm opening up a short course on sculpting every month, and a new intake starts this september.

Unfortunately this course is only exclusive to Digital Animation students at the One,

however, if there is a response to have classes outside the institution, i will definitely work on that.

There will be a preview tomorrow (i know short notice right) at room F4 at the One.
so whoever is around town and is interested to get a glimpse before participating can attend the introduction class.

it will be a short intro, bout an hour or two.
from 10am till noon, then we can have lunch? :)

cheers everyone!

Koating my Kancil pt 3

Hi Everyone, been taking some orders for the kancil, those of you who ordered, i really appreciate it!

as a thank you, here are some shop pics, pics taken by my lovely gf with her new awesome Lumix.



paints that i used, Citadel and Tamiya Acrylics.



One customer wanted the default color scheme.







It's weird to see two of the same color scheme, haha. gay brothers or something.



Here's a special blue one for another customer. He wanted a custom color scheme. Hope he likes it!



A gold/Bronze version for the principal of my college as a thank you gift thing.



Here's a line up- left to right,

Gold - TOA gift
Blue - custom paint
Default 1 - My personal piece
Default 2 - Customer ordered
Grey 1 - Customer ordered
Grey 2 - Customer ordered
Raw - Customer ordered
White - the original sculpey sculpt!

i've given away three sculptures already previously. would be cool to see a massive line up of all of them. but i will be sending them off this week to their new homes :) maybe a new sculpt in the future. haha.

Cheers!

Inception Workshop Pics

How was everyone's weekend?
I've been busy in shop casting totems and kancils :)



Picture of it in action at my friends birthday/farewell party :)



Here's how it all started, brass rod with circular plastic sheet attached.



added an extension with bent metal wire.



glued in place.



padded with wire to give some clamping area for the epoxy.



padded with epoxy for the initial form block in, and after hours of sanding with my dremel and sand paper, we get a spin top!

sorry for lack(more like zero) of pictures at the sanding phase, it was just too hands on to stop for pics.

and thank you all the friends who are supporting this endeavor by purchasing the totems!

happy dreaming :D
