now you guys know me as ray dizzle the artist
the painter
the drawer
but today i'm going to be known as ray dizzle the sculptor
has a good ring to it now if you're out of the loop my buddy
one of the biggest art youtubers jazza created his second ever art box with smart art
and jazza and the company smart art was kind enough to send me one it comes in three tiers
the first one being jazza's incredible box all about ink drawing calligraphy and writing
the second box which this box is all about miniatures that he hand selected
as well as created that you can paint and assemble all on your own
and the third box is what we're focusing on today allow me to introduce you to
the jazza sculpture box
now in order for you to fully understand my sculpting experience i thought i
would show you guys a few now my very first sculpting experience was back in high school
okay so i go to art class right and i'm walking in and walking and then i pull up in the chair
even though i was so dedicated to like the actual artwork in high school that wasn't
the case for sculpting and i created this gem of a masterpiece ray dizzle self-proclaimed politician
in college i only took one semester of ceramics and i created a few things that i thought were
you know fine they're pretty cute i still to this day really like the deer head
and this brings us to present day even though my sculpting experience is pretty minimal
i feel like i have a pretty good understanding of skulls in the human face portraiture is one
of my specialties and today i'm going to sculpt my own face with that being said let's unbox
big boy
okay guys here it is jazza super sculpture box basque in all of its glory
all right let's see what we are working with now this is a tool pouch with jazza's face on it the
pockets come in a variety of sizes very nice love that along with the pouch of course comes with
a variety of sculpting tools first of all i just want to say i appreciate the size of this because
i imagine i'm going to be getting into some really small crevices for my face so of course i'm going
to need some sculpting tools speaking of which we have a bird ah pumpkin what get out of here
as i was saying before i was rudely interrupted we have a bursting set i know that you use this for
a variety of reasons like attaching clay making textures just all around a very universal tool
now next up in the box we have two brush sets one is a silicone based brush set for smoothing
things out making it look all smooth we also have some regular paint brushes we got a rolling pin
i think it's pretty self-explanatory what the roller does it rolls we got
oh my gosh i know what this is i know it did okay
oh so this is a 10 piece sculpting set every single tool is double ended so technically
it's like 20 tools in one we got some blades for cutting said clay next up besides the tools and
the clay itself we probably have one of the most important parts of the sculpture armature wire
now this is basically going to be the bones of my clay if that makes sense it's going to make it a
little bit more structurally sound and make it so i don't just like waste a giant wada clay we got
some pastels with the brushes that i had mentioned earlier you can actually paint on pastels
which is a really nice art hack and lastly we have the three sculpting clays we have some oven baked
clay in ten colors we got the primaries we got the secondaries we got white we got black we got gray
basically the most universal colors that you can get we have the cost clay this is curable
oven safe clay in soft and from what i can remember on jazza's video on this the clay
is almost like rubbery which i feel like is really nice for getting super realistic textures and we
have a special sized monster clay now this is an oil-based clay meaning that it will never dry out
you can use it over and over and over again which is really nice and it just so happens to
be the clay that i'm gonna use i like it because there's a lot of it it comes in one uniform color
it melts down and let's be honest here it's the most beginner friendly for a noob like myself
are you ready for it bam so here's like my basic potato
so here's what the preparation stage of my sculpture looks like this will soon be my
face at some point but i just needed it to be a little more sturdy than what it currently is and
luckily i have a skull right here to reference from so it all works out
now that i got the baked potato on a stick going i'd like to call this phase getting down the basic
structures first i want to make it look human-like before i make it look
ray-like if that makes sense so add in the things that make it make us human so eyes nose lips
cheekbones i kind of felt like a plastic surgeon honestly like adding in fat
to like the face in different areas that i wanted to change it was fun
oh my god so the scariest scariest thing
literally just happened so just like normal i was working on a sculpture i was adding in fine
lines my philanthrom or whatever it's called my eyebrows you know just normal stuff scraping in
hold on i need to calm down it was so scary and i'm just gonna show you what happened
oh god oh god oh god oh it's so scary
now i'm gonna add in probably one of the most unique features of my face and by far
the most difficult thing to create which is the eyeballs i have a unique eye structure
where it's kind of hooded but it's like flat at the bottom like there's a lot of extra skin
up top by the eyelids so i'm not gonna lie for a beginner trying to do a very unique eye shape like
that it was pretty difficult for me like my eye everything was fine like the nose mouth everything
was fine but just the eyes i struggled with so much eventually i got so pissed off i was like
you know what i'm gonna come back to this later i can't handle this i'm gonna work on the next thing
which will be my hair i didn't have a lot of extra clay to like do anything long and dramatic so i
decided to go with a bun i mean i'm literally wearing one right now so it all works out
from the top make it drop that's some wet that's some wet macaroni in a pot okay anyway
so it's the next day it's currently 3 41 in the morning uh i purposely wore like a
lighter makeup today because i wanted you guys to like see the comparisons
and as far as the eyes go i ended up actually redoing them again from the very top and i'm not
gonna lie i felt like a literal serial killer scooping out eyes of my victim
so that was weird and to be quite honest with you i'm not 100 happy with the eyes but i do think
it's a major improvement and it was also kind of weird whenever i was smoothing out the skin
smoothing is so weird because i'm just like caressing my own face it's so
weird
now at this point i'm running kind of low on clay and i just decided to do some minor cleanup and
just call it a day and something i did not mention earlier is that i'm actually doing a
quarantine i'm not going to any stores or anything like that new mexico's numbers aren't doing too
hot right now so you know i'm just trying to stay safe and the reason i'm telling you this
is because i had to improvise hardcore and i ended up using the polymer clay as a headstand
i know what you're waiting for now when i look at the side of the sculpture you can definitely see
that there's some rendering issues what we'll call them and a little bit of face texture i never did
fully figure out how to completely blend so all my sculptors out there if you have any tips on
how to like fully flatten out and like blend out a face let a girl know but i am a little shook
because when you look at it from the front and you compare it side by side they look so similar
not gonna lie for my very first time ever doing any kind of sculpture besides like those two
other times in college in high school i kind of went off and to be honest i feel like a huge help
was the quality tools and the clay and everything that came inside of this box shout out to you jazz
for creating such a really good box if you're interested in this or any of the other boxes
i will leave everything down below i have been putting so much more into my videos and
the quality and editing lately and my upload schedule is becoming more and more erratic so
don't forget to hit the notification bell that way you can always get notified and yeah with
that being said guys thank you so much again for watching and i will see you next video bye
