Thank u bro for this tutorial.amazing .true artist❤❤❤❤
Picasso was classically trained since 7 years old and considered an artistic prodigy by 12. Cubism and abstract expressionism wasn't an artist making mistakes, it was intentional. He was quite capable of rendering human anatomy and form accurately by 12.
Yeah that was a galaxy brain take
I take your point. However, my reason for stating it in such a crass way is that Picasso, and others of his era, were unknowingly the beginning of a very destructive trend in the art world. A movement like Cubism seems harmless enough, but once you start down that road you eventually end up in a world of absurdism and emptiness. I've seen post modern art theory ruin countless young talents who naively apply to an art college and end up waiting tables with a mountain of debt on their shoulders left feeling cynical, angry, and without hope because their dreams of being an artist will never materialize. Despite all of the technological advances of the 20th century, it was by far the most murderous and destructive century in the history of the world. Not surprisingly, 20th century art is a reflection of many dark and failed ideas.
Yeah, we've all heard that story. He had talent, but no more than Matisse, and far less than Sargent had at a very young age. The story of Picasso's prodigious childhood talent was promoted by himself, but the truth is more revealing. The works that are extant show in fact a great gift, but nothing superhuman. His earliest surviving work is from age 9 or so, the "Picador" and is impressive but childlike. His self portrait at age 15 is good, but nowhere on the level of something like Parmigianino's self-portrait in a round mirror, done at around age 13 or Van Dyke's earliest works. His "First Communion," also from age 15 is his youthful masterpiece, a large-scale work that would have occupied the better part of a year. It displays a good understanding of realist conventions, but no genius. His other works from this time show amazing breadth of ability and no unifying stylistic vision other than intensity and a laborious fervor. In fact, the master had to work very hard. It never came easy for him. His academic figures are pretty good, but show nothing of the mastery of light and shade and anatomy that DeGas or even Matisse were able to bring to bear on these laborious student tasks. Rodin shows much greater drawing skill at this age. Compared with his fellow countryman Sorolla, another prodigy, Picasso's teenage work seems just a bit amateurish, but comparing artists is probably futile. Suffice to say, Spain produced a few great ones. Picasso's early adult works show him struggling in a hack Toulouse Lautrec style, and finally settling on the massive, moody figures of his pink and blue periods. The loss of his sister Conchita, not the one pictured in the First Communion, caused him deep sadness and may have been the reason he came to doubt the existence of God. His artistic power, like that of Rembrandt and that of Van Gogh actually comes less from technical virtuosity than innovation, passion, and the ability to convey emotions such as sadness. That's my take on it.
@@CasaliArts You're absolutely right mate! This "New Art " is nothing but a poor excuse for mediocrity and lack of ability. People wanna have the fame withouth the hard work required.
@@alexfelker1348 totally agree,im not an artist but in instagram i can see there a lot of good talented people,but i see people "like an artist" with a sculptures...🤦♂️,paints...that really they are very subject to doubt to call that art
The best sculpting video I have seen. Thanks for uploading this. Please keep the videos coming.
Been a while (years) since I sculpted anything in clay. Was tasked recently to do a life-size '78 Michael Myers complete with unmasked head/face, and of course mask to fit over. I'm sculpting the face, and have ran into a couple walls. I really enjoy the intricate, but simplicity of how you explain the facial/cranial anatomy. Thank you
Glad to hear it, Terrence. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!
Thank you for going into this so well. It's the kind of thing I wish I were taught earlier on.
You are very welcome, thank you for the feedback.
You are a brilliant communicator these are wonderful videos, thank you so much
I love this quote by Picasso. He knew what he was doing. It might be a little long, but worth the reading time: "From the moment that art ceases to be food that feeds the best minds, the artist can use his talents to perform all the tricks of the intellectual charlatan. Most people can today no longer expect to receive consolation and exaltation from art. "The 'refined,' the rich, the professional 'do-nothings', the distillers of quintessence desire only the peculiar, the sensational, the eccentric, the scandalous in today's art.
Thanks so much for this, very nice breakdown on the subtleties of the face.
Thank you for this video friend.u amazing artist
Thank you for watching 🙏
This is good stuff!! Thanks for the upload Mr. Casali! Much appreciated.
This is extremely well presented and incredibly helpful. I've been studying the Asaro head lately and I find it difficult to memorise the planes and their relationships, however I really appreciate how anatomical this approach is - somehow it makes the task a little easier. I like the simplification of the planes here. Great stuff!
Thanks Dave, I am fine tuning this planes head and he will be available for purchase very soon. I will keep everyone posted.
Your an excellent teacher
Extremely helpful! Thank you!💜.💜.💜.
.
I enjoyed the sculpture on the upper right of view thanks
This is exactly the kind of thing I need to be hearing. I am at a point where I can now sculpt anything photorealistically, except for people, specially the face.
Um admirável trabalho.
Excellent video. I'm new to sculpting this video answered quite a few questions i had about the human head .Thanks
Very helpful. Thank you.
Very informative and useful ❤️
Great explanation!
This is great, I draw sometimes and when I do I use the Reilly Method. Seeing parts of it in 3d geometry is very helpful.
Amazing.
Thank you master
VERY GOOD INDEED
This video is so informative. I wish I would’ve seen this years ago. I live in Virginia not that far from Maryland. Where are your classes located.
Hi Mark, my studio is in Galesville, south of Annapolis. I have a 4-day workshop coming up April 8-11 www.rickcasali.com/classes
Your works are great.make a tutorial about making eyes on a small face and a medium face.please.thanks in advance...
You are amazing….. is there anyplace I can ask you questions and send you photos?
Hi Martino, thank you 🙏 yes I have a Patreon page for my supporters. There you can ask me direct questions and I can make videos upon request. Patreon.com/RickCasali
A basic question but still: how do you preserve the clay when you’re done? Just let it dry?
Can someone let me know what that measuring tool he is using from the beginning? It would be so helpful!
Hi Nina, they are sculptor calipers. The pair in the video are homemade. You should be able to find a pair online if you search around. Thanks for watching !
@RICK CASALI
I’m having trouble when drawing a face in a cube. Where to put the cube vertical line that seperate the front plane and side plane of the face?
I’m not sure why sometimes I see ppl putting it right at the end of the eyebrow. But some ppl put it at the point of the eyebrow. It so confusing which is the correct place to seperate the planes?
That is a good question. The head can be likened to a cube, but it is not a strict cube, it does not have 90 degree corners. If you place a skull inside a glass cube, there are large voids around the skull in the corners of that box. When dividing the front from the side, I initially follow the temporal ridge down and then trace the lateral rim of the eye socket. This plane break will first cut back into the head and then once you reach the outermost corner of the cheekbone it will move slightly forward again towards the chin. You will have to study how the light and shade patterns occur on a person's head to observe this salient change in the form. It will differ slightly from person to person but it is always generally the same pattern.
I noticed that you often use a knife/scrapper tool , is it homemade or can I order one ( what name does it have ?)
Rick any 19th century sculptors who are little known, you could recommend?
Hi Israel, there are so many and I am discovering sculptors each day. If you are on Instagram, you can follow my @deadsculptors page. There I try to post high quality sculptors of the past, the majority of which from the 19th century. Thanks for the question, Cheers!
"Just" a picasso lollll :D
Apparently reptiles, be they - lizards, crocodiles etc DON'T have any facial muscles except in the jaw of course.
Ive heard that the human face has 40 muscles unique as muscles, because they 're not attached to the skull.& can make over 100 expressions.
Faites attention, Monsieur Perrault.
Why can't you or someone make a head like this out of plastic or something lightweight .. very small so we could buy something similar to an Asaro head that wouldn't break the bank? Many thanks for letting us see your gorgeous work.
Hi Lisa, I do have 3 different planes heads available for purchase through my website: www.rickcasali.com/store
People with assymetric eyes crying rn

😂
Always funny these ‘traditional’ artist are too much focused on technique. They miss creativity and expression. If you look at michelangelo and rodin, their works are never academic or literal copies of the human form. Their works are vert free and expressive. Not like these artists here on youtube, who are slaves to techniques only……
Sorry but I found this video tutorial rather _boring._
Maybe less theory on historical facial cranial structures and actual practicals would have been better. In other words, show and tell rather than only verbal teachings please
