Clay Smoothing Techniques (Part 2): Finishing the Sculpture

To finish the clay sculpture, this very simple technique allows me to achieve a cool smoothing effect by brushing the texture of the sculpt.

So cool, reminds me of a hollow (or deprived) from dark souls

[@TheArtHack]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, man. Super helpful!

[@FritzHoppe]

I appreciate it! Comment any questions your have in the future.

In this kind of play, I never know if it's done sloppy, finished or not. Personally, only hyperrealism interests me. However, I came here because of the smoothing technique of such plasticine / clay. I avoid chemicals, so such a fluid is out of the question. Probably only the method of heating the surface and then quickly smoothing it out

Great tips!!!

[@FritzHoppe]

Thanks!

[@missbeebennett]

Thanks for the tips! Will this effect the reusability of the clay at all?

[@FritzHoppe]

No not really. It is an oily substance than blends into the clay (which is oil-based), assuming you use the same products as in the video.
Before reusing the clay, I recommend heating it up or melting it in crock-pot. You can stir it together so that oils do not separate. I actually have a video on crockpots here: th-cam.com/video/mvacUvaV0E0/w-d-xo.html

Great vid, but where's the link for the brushes?

[@lakehouse8405]

I'm not sure what you mean by "citrus spray" - I see Goo Gone on the bottle but I assume that's not the actual product - can you elaborate please
