I had this wonderfull idea that i could start sculpting marble.. Well a nice block of carrara statuario costs like 2000 spacebucks and so i decided i start with something more cheaper, because i have never sculpted before.
Plaster is super easy to mix and it hardens really fast.
Like in these two, the mold was a bucket and the plaster set like within 2 hours.
I also got a couple of nice claw chisels to feel like Michelangelo himself.
Actually the fine sculpting is made with a flat screwdriver in the need of a better tool. :)
Here is the first attempt. Its supposed to be an old guy with the mustache.

Cool, man! Looks good. Did you have reference or did you improvise?
very good!!!
Cool!
Although it's a lot less messy if you do it in Zbrush :)
Thanks fellas!
I did not have any kind of model. Its funny how you know what to do when you stare at the block and start carving.
Like they say about the artistic block that its good to wait inspiration with a chisel/brush in hand.
So I improvised :D
Z-brush and Mudbox are super cool programs and i love em both.
This is however more like a manly way to do it. Its also that I dont feel so nerdy when i am holding a real chisel and a hammer. :)
Try it, its fun!
Fabulous! I have always wanted to learn to sculpt. A big piece of stone is so daunting and irresistible at the same time. Your way with bucket and plaster is a great idea, I might try that myself some time - a good way of getting started I imagine.
Love the faces coming out of the plaster....very moody...
Hello! Nice work, keep on doing..
