What types of clay are you most excited to work with? Let me know in the comments.
i am a beginner just started to sculpt, Plastilina clay is vey nice to work .that makes work enjoyable , soft, non- sticky and reusable and affordable . I am from India . i am using Jovi plastilina clay .thank you very much for very useful video for beginner like me,
I use J-Mac and love it.
no mention of Polymer / oven bake clay?
I was not ready for this joke.
What joke?
"All these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for they good"..... Nice.

omg i realy what to learn more abouth sculping
Hi Proko, what do you think about DAS water based clay air dry?
Oil base and polymer clay 😊
Good choices!
I love working with Chavant Clayette Hard. Same manufacturer as Chavant NSP. Almost no one ever mentions it which is weird because I find it much nicer overall. It's far less sticky, plus NSP can get extremely soft (and hot) rather quickly and then it tends to stick to your hands which can be extremely painful. It happened to me several times with NSP, never with Clayette. So I'd recommend Clayette over NSP :)
I’ll have to try that one! I do mix a little hard NSP with the medium which makes it firmer which I prefer.
@@AndrewJosephKeith The only issue with Clayette I can think of is that even the Hard version is softer than NSP Medium. So it's maybe not suited for very small projects. But I love the overall feel of it. I hope you'll like it :)
I bet you work in different climes. A great clay in Louisiana might be useless in Ontario.

Hey @proko3d , I’m a musicians that’s brand new to the community and trying to get into learning sculpting. I feel pretty lost in the ocean of options and am stuck in a “doing research” loop. If you didn’t mind clarifying a couple things and fielding a couple questions, I would be eternally grateful.
-is there a reason to get Monster Clay vs Chauvant NSP? Is there no way to harden them even with baking and they have to be cast or did I misunderstand and there is a way too harden them?
-I know sculpy bakes to harden but aside from that is there a reason to get sculpy over Monster or Chauvant? Is there something less expensive than sculpy that’s as good le better?
-i notice in some of your videos you have a rod holding up your armature. Is that something you made or something that can be made?
-I saw your video of the sculpture you were commission’s top do with the man and the chickens and you used a heat gun to harden it. What clay was that? Are there clays that have a tendency to crack and are sort of garbage if you decide to bake?
-what do you recommend for a base if you don’t have the means to hold up an armature with that mounted rod thingy but your using a clay that doesn’t harden?
- if you had to recommend 5 tools to buy or ones you say are essential to have as your weapons of choice, what would they be?
Thank you so much in advance. I love thé videos and it really has me itching to learn. I just want to make sure I’m not buying the wrong stuff only to find out I wasted money or in a. Effort to be thrifty, get stuff that’s so bad it’s not enjoyable.
Happy holiday!

yayyy thank u sir
Subtítulos por favor!!!
Hi there! I’m 11, and EXTREMELY interested into sculpture. I love to draw as well. For Christmas, I’m planning on asking my parents for some stuff to start out. Any tips? I need the clay to be cheap, and do I have to use wires? Can i just use the clay by itself?
The sculpting courses are on sale! code "BLACK20" for 20% off. I also like chavant nsp medium clay though it's a bit expensive. Keep up the sculpting.
chavant clay is not avalabile anymore, any suggestion?
I've tried to get into sculpting a few times using Super Sculpey Firm. Unfortunately life has a habit of pulling my attention away to other things, the half-finished sculpture gets put on the backburner for a few months and eventually it dries and hardens to the point it basically becomes part of the armature. I guess I could just sculpt over it with fresh Sculpey but the unused stuff that sat in the box for months also dried out to the point it just cracks and crumbles when kneading. I've probably wasted 8-10lbs of SS like this. Is Chavant better in that regard? Is NSP similar to work with as SS Firm? I tried regular ol' pink SS at first and I didn't like it. It was too soft, kinda sticky, details got smooshed away when working on other areas for eg. But SS Firm can also be a bit *too* firm. I think my fav was when my local store didn't have SS Gray, so i tried mixing some white/black SS Premo with pink SS to get gray and that came out nice to work with. But that can get expensive to do. I see there's SS Medium now. Maybe I should give that a try?
Couldn't Super Sculpey be softened with oils?
@@crabdoesnothing8213 I did try using Sculpey clay softener once but the clay may have been too old. It was probably a couple years since i touched it. Even let it soak in a bag over a few days. The stuff just sits on the surface of the clay and doesn’t really “seep in”. Maybe it needed lots of kneading to recondition it properly but it was getting messy, the thicker parts of the clay would just snap off, then chunks of clay would be slippery and gliding over each other due to the softener. It was just a whole thing. Was way easier to just go get new blocks from the store.
@@metalsquid Oh if it was a couple years then it probably is unsalvagable now, have you tried the pink super sculpeys? Those ones are really soft, and would have a longer shelf life I think.
@@crabdoesnothing8213 yup, pink/beige stuff was the first one i tried. Too soft for me. But hey after two years, might be perfect! lol
@@metalsquid lol yes I usually use the medium or firm ones
Chavant is very underrated
🙏

Epoxy clay but instead of alum foil i use modelling clay as my base.
Wire gauge is simple, if it’s 16 gauge each piece is a 16th of an inch thick
But Dr. Garuda uses Plasticine for his sculptures and he paints them too.
Cosplay is a plastine clay that wont dry out and can be baked; isn't it? ...so is sculpty clays...so there are plastine clays that you can do finished pieces in.
👍👍👍
Is interesting the price of the product, You said the epoxy Is the more expensive but here in my country Is one of the cheapest
Interesting.
Lol gonna tell this janitor joke to my friends cuz I'm all about bad jokes 👍✨
Supppppplies
Air dry clay is the worst☹️ caused so many break downs for me 😔
Yeah I don't like air dry clay that much.
what if , there is too much oil in the clay?
What is the way to harden the clay a little if oil-based clay?
i put too much oil on the oil-based clay.
Wee hack I discovered the other day when I tried polymer clay: if you don't have a heat gun to warm up the clay, use a hairdryer.
I thought the same thing why buy a power tool when I can steal my GF stuff.
And if thou shalt be cast into bronze

I so hate to be “corrections guy,” but I only know these are mistakes because I’ve made them myself, so please know it’s not coming from a mean or a bullying place: in your subtitles, in the sentence beginning at 0:31, the word you’re looking for to indicate you’re bridging over from one topic to another is “segue” … but the word in your subtitles is “Segway,” which is instead a single-person vehicle that looks a little like a scooter with wheels on either side rather than at the front and back.
Those two words ARE homonyms, which is to say, segue and Segway are pronounced the same … but the former is to transition, the latter is a kind of scooter.
Now, if you’re looking at segue and thinking “But surely that’s the abbreviation,” then you are in the same boat I was once in, my friend! But the abbreviation is just “seg,” like “I’m going to seg over to a new topic in a moment.” (I don’t think people use this abbreviation much today, but if you are of a certain age, then you once heard people say “seg” constantly, almost like a verbal tic.) Seg is an abbreviation of segue, and segue is pronounced the same as the vehicle, Segway.
I hope this was of interest to you? Again, I’m sorry if this is unwelcome - it was certainly unbidden - but my thinking is, it’s better to hear a correction now in a safe context from someone who likes you, than later in some critical context from someone who is trying to undermine or discredit you. I am just trying to be helpful.
Thank you for the upload! I quite love sculpting, but I used to get my supplies from my aunt and uncle (who, in a pre-Blicks era, owned a quite popular local art supply store), and now that I’m getting back into it I find I don’t know what anything’s called or even where to find it. So thank you for all this good info!!
