James Gurney shows how he sculpted a bobble head dog. There are basically two types of bobble head designs:
1) Head on a loose, bouncy spring, which works for upright human characters.
2) Head on a counterweight, which works best for animals.
With type 2, the trick is to make the head light enough to balance against the lead weight, so I used craft foam for the head. You also have to sculpt the hollow body with enough space for the counterweight to swing freely up and down and side to side.

I love giving art as gifts! It always feels so much more meaningful than giving someone a product purchased from a store.
Watching James gurney vids is my passion
sir your painting videos are amazing and that goes without saying. but is it possible if one day you make videos about your more 3d stuff like these or those giant pencils and brushes? or more of how you made the titles/edits on your videos. i love your outros alot, as an avid youtube watcher i rarely see people incorporate physical shapes into these kinda things. i did watch the logo animation video but i would love to see the other contraptions you made for the ending. or even a studio tour! that kinda stuff is quite trendy nowadays! i would love to see your studio myself. cheers
Definitely using this for my students! Great problem solving concept and I'm pretty sure they'll enjoy making something similar :)
Please don't let children handle lead. It is poison!
@@leighharwood3886 don't worry - I was thinking of alternatives like fishing sinkers.
@@TheColdCreature Aren't sinkers made of lead?
@@leighharwood3886 Not always. There's alternatives available.
@@TheColdCreature Good to know! Thank you!
Nice gift
What a nice gift!
Wonderful! Instead of lead, may I suggest less toxic alternatives? For the body, one can put aqua gravel or glass beads (used for making weighted blankets) in a small bag or a clean nylon "knee high" stocking that can be tied off with an overhand knot. To weight the head, metal nuts or a heavy glass bead could be used. My youngest has lead poisoning. Please, please don't use lead!
Loved this. I made an air dry clay cat bobble head with my grandson over zoom. But love the technique with wire for the head action. Thanks for sharing your technique
What a great idea!! Doing crafts over Zoom sounds like so much fun, of course it's fun in person but oftentimes (especially now) we can't physically be in the same room as a loved one. ❤
May i ask what you used instead of wire? Im just curious!
@@capuchinosofia4771 I used balled tin foil to form the body. It was a more upright body. The neck went up to a point. Then the head was made from a ball and pinch pot idea to hollow it out. The head goes over the pointed body and to bobbles on the base. Painted with acrylic paint.
@@laneatkinson6441 we had weekly art club for almost a year. We both did projects together. We painted, did a lot of air dry clay from large dinosaurs, spaced capsules, rock painting. It helped so much with being apart and we got closer than ever. My husband even played zoom chess with him with camera over board and second phone to see each other.
You can always create humor and fun, which is not inferior to your paintings at all. I like your humor, and I like your paintings even more.
What a fantastic idea and Frank’s reaction was so heartwarming. Lovely present and lovely family. Julie 🥰
That turned out so well! What a great gift. I love the detailed paint job, and the tongue, LOL. And the Smooth seal of approval 😄
This is so cute 😂 Now I kind of want ones of all the pets I’ve ever owned.
That dog looks like a 3d painting!
I use impressionist techniques when I build my model kits as well. I think it looks better than adding a whole lot of details as modelers usually do. Because their small size kind of works like as if we were seeing in the distance, the most smaller it gets, the most distant it is. Impressionism works specially very well for small stuff like 1/700 ships and things like that. It is very nice to build dioramas in such scale, adding vegetation and such, it really feels like building a painting.
Hands down my favorite subscription of the entirety of 2021. Thank you sir, I'll be making one of these for my daughter.
You are the bee's knees, Mr. G.
James's end slates never cease to amaze me
"Paint with acrylic to match dog of choice" sent me 😂😂
Oh my goodness! I cannot wait to make a bobblehead creature! How fun. You never cease to amaze me. So much fun. Thank you, James! I work in polymer clay and sculpt so many different little creatures. I think this would be fantastic with some of my dragons. He is so darling.
Loved it, so did your son. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏻
How fun is that!
I want to give you feedback on the "Traids - painting with 3 colors" course that you created. It's the first time ever, that color mixing has meant something to me. It's dynamic and accessible in a way that I could never have imagined. I actually use the traids, that I've mixed, for reference when I paint. Amazing! Thank you so much for a brilliant course on color.
Thanks for the perceptive feedback.
Thanks for the feedback. Glad it was useful.
great gift for friends
A really well done an nice present for everyone 👍🥰😍🙏🏾. It’s warming my heart ♥️. Thank you 😊
Excelente trabajo, como siempre inspirando a una generación. El mecanismo es muy sencillo de replicar , quiero hacer el mío. Gracias por tu aporte al arte y gracias por tu tiempo.
This is just the best!! Love this bobble head idea
How sweet and resourceful! Cool!
In Germany, this is a kind of Wackeldackel and belongs to every classic car's hat shelf.
Sweet gift
Happy Birthday Frank!
You've mentioned before that Smooth was you son's dog...
What an awesome gift! Very cool

I have nothing to say. It just turned out so nice!

Mr Gurney, You are amazing!! Thank you!

Omg, last year I followed your TH-cam channel because I really loved your tips. Then I was looking for some art books for get for Christmas. I saw this one book was recommended so I asked my grandparents to get it for me. I received it on Christmas and was ecstatic! Then just now your video was recommend to me and I was like hmm I know I follow him but why does his name seem weirdly familiar, then I checked the author of Color and Light and 💡💡💡. Thank you making the wonderful book! I spent so much time staring at the pages lol!
That's amazing how you made the connections. I'm grateful for the follow!
That is Smooth! Love it, thanks James.
That is fantastic !!! Love this project !! I'm making one of each of my doggy buddies !!!

I was wondering if you enjoy the photographs of Walter Wick since you create props and Maquettes.
Hey could you ever do a sketchbook tour and show all of you work form watercolor and gouache and acrylic because I love your work and really want to see it

Nice! What does your real dog thing of his Mini Me? :) Also, I like your end screen/credits!
Теперь хочу сделать такую же...
Adorable! Hey one question - you used to have all your small sketchbooks for sale in digital format, but I can't seem to find them anymore. Do you still have them on offer?
I think they might have been taken down because we didn't update the code exactly right.
@@JamesGurney ... oh I see...
What did Smooth think of it?
Lolol your nifty
Mr. Gurney;
I would like to contact you regarding some numbered prints from the early - mid 1990s. My late DH collected them (and *loved* them!!). Alas, since his passing, I need to sell and am baffled at the price range out there. I don't wish to be hosed. Please dm me if you can.
Thank you very much.
How can a dog be 32 year old?
