  • Zoe Dufour is a sculptor with incredible skill for depicting form. In this lesson you’ll watch her speed sculpt a portrait from life while she explains her process. Subscribe to Proko: bit.ly/SubProko
    NEW MASTERPIECE DEMO:
    www.proko.com/dufour
    In Zoe’s Masterpiece Demo, you’ll get to watch as she creates a longer sculpture from scratch. She’ll show you everything you’ll need to get started, including how she makes her own tools, guides you through the process of setting up the wire armature, building up clay to get the large forms, and taking it to a finish with the details.
    After the clay sculpt is finished you’ll see how she makes a throwaway plaster mold and a cast with a base. It’s fully narrated, as she explains her thought process, gives tips and warns about common mistakes.

      @@toonybrain Yes that is sort of true! However, what you hear is her talking while working pasted on a shortened video. Her sculpture took 3 hours, the video is 13 minutes. So they have 3 hours of sound to work with. Since we do see her talk 'live' at some points, I assumed she talked with the same ease overal. But who knows how tweaked it is tho, so you do have a point.
