(Matt) Right. Jordu is at a very
[Excerpted From: Miniature Head Sculpting] critical juncture here.
[Excerpted From: Miniature Head Sculpting] This is very fine work.
[Excerpted From: Miniature Head Sculpting] This is-- It's like a surgeon right now.
And even the slightest--
--Jordu: Scream! (Matt) Scream--
--Jordu: Could ruin everything for him.
(Matt) So let's talk about this character.
We have a question about
starting to think about back story,
that sort of thing.
When you're working on one of these characters,
do you think beyond what they look like?
Do you start to imagine who they are,
what they do? Are they a killer?
Are they a, you know, whatever?
--Jordu: Well, yeah. I mean,
I guess to try to get some
handle on the character,
I always-- as I'm sculpting I start to
kind of come up with a mental biography.
This guy is kind of a stupid thug.
You know, he's probably from 1938.
Maybe he was involved with gangsters,
and he just kind of blew it by getting caught.
Unfortunately, he kind of was hoping to
get a deal by ratting out
his cohorts in crime,
and this isn't going to spell good things
for Jimmy Fatucci once he gets out of jail,
because, well, the gang is aware
that he's a squealer.
Why he's kind of nervous-looking,
'cause he knows at any second
he's probably going to get shot.
So there you have it, biography.
So it's important, I think,
if you're going to be doing brows to know
how they are shaped, you know,
the arc of them and how they work.
I'm also going to do just a few hairs
for kind of a crappy little crustache.
(Matt) Did you create that term, "crustache"?
--Jordu: Just now, weirdly.
(Matt) How do we feel about the new term
"crustache"? Discuss on our YouTube channel.
There's going to be a new term "crustache."
And what is the definition of
"crustache," again, for our viewers?
--Jordu: Oh, just a crusty little mustache.
"Crustache."
["Crustache" -- a crusty little moustache]
It's the kind of mustache a lobster would have.
(Matt) Oh, it's in the Urban Dictionary.
"Crustache" is a word.
--Jordu: Okay.
(Matt) From Scooby Doofus. Thank you for that.
Scooby Doofus points out
that it's already in the Urban Dictionary.
"Crustache" is real.
--Jordu: Well, I swear on my life
I've never heard it before,
but I'm not surprised someone else
came up with it before me.
So you'll notice that as I'm painting
the mustache, the brows on,
I'm following directions of hair
that I know are accurate.
And that is something you do simply
by observation. Y'know?
Now I can go in with my ultrafine brush
and actually define, carefully, some wrinkles.
(Matt) If you would like to join us
on the panel or the hangout,
I guess, and be on screen with us--
Give your instructions, Chris,
so they know how to get an invitation
into the hangout.
(Chris) Yeah, if you write it on the
YouTube comment, "I want to send you a message,"
through your YouTube account number.
(Matt) Great. Little echo there.
All right let's-- If you guys wouldn't mind
muting yourselves down there on the hangout,
we'll continue. Okay, Jordu.
Bring us up to speed.
--Jordu: Now I'm refining the eyes
by making them look a little light,
and what I'm doing is I'm removing
some of the black.
(John Ales) It's crazy.
(Matt) For those of you who are watching,
you all know what's going on.
We're shooting a standard lesson with Jordu,
three-camera shoot.
This is our very first experience bringing
you guys in on the set.
We're obviously looking
at this through a webcam,
not the best medium for seeing
the detail work Jordu is doing,
but the questions that are coming in
are proving to be invaluable to this lesson.
So we love this, and we hope you join us
behind the scenes on these lessons
in the future.
So go ahead and ask
your questions on our YouTube channel,
and pertaining to the lesson, if you can,
and Jordu will answer them.
