- [Jordu] We're gonna now move into the very last phase here
which is detail.
Now the area that people are most likely to look
of course is the head.
I mean we want to detail out a good portion of the piece,
but the head usually takes up a lot of effort
because we want that to look really, really good.
Now let's take the teeth out for now,
and let's carve very deep
into the mouth.
So I'm creating kind of
stretchy skin here.
Once again, I can
use my trusty acid brush
and my terpenoid alcohol mix,
brush those down.
Now, luckily, something like this,
I actually don't want it to have a lot of detail.
I really want it to kind of be sort of smooth
and stretchy and weird, so I'm not going to over-detail it.
The one thing that I do when I want to get
just a basic texture on skin, is
I take a chip brush, which basically looks like this,
and I take some scissors, and I cut it down by about
a little over a third, almost in half.
Okay, so now it looks like this.
And I use that terpenoid again,
and I just kind of stipple over the whole thing like this.
Okay, now let's put
put a little detail back here.
So, when I do the elbow, what I do is
I normally start by carving in some wrinkles,
and then I go in with fine little
worms of clay.
I press them in really well into the fabric of the clay,
and then I blend them.
For veins, basically,
I roll out a very, very, very fine worm,
as fine as I can get away with,
and it's good to find a really clean surface to roll it on.
The vein should be so subtle
that you almost can't see them right away.
The vein should not stand out and be obvious,
and I'm hoping that the cameras we're using
are even sensitive enough to pick that up,
but you see them in there?
Very subtle, very fine.
You really want to press them in good.
So, if I put the light in a really contrasty area,
you can kinda really see those veins in there.
I pressed them in really, really well
to make sure they won't lift up,
and then you can go over it kind of delicately
with your acid brush, okay.
Kind of be gentle though because you don't want to
completely eradicate them, just blending them in.
Okay, so,
the jeans aren't refined, but, you know,
I'll probably do a little work on those maybe next week,
just before we get to the painting, but
this is more or less how I go about doing what I do.
I'm going to eventually carve sockets into the gum areas,
to stick the sculpy teeth later,
but let's take a close look.
You can still see how unrefined this side looks.
