ART CHALLENGE

In this episode, Erik will demonstrate how to use classical sculpting techniques in concept art by creating a terrifying and disgusting monster.

You'll learn how a digital artist can benefit from techniques used in traditional sculpting. You'll also see what unusual shapes can be created with oil-based clay, which are almost impossible to achieve in the digital environment.
