Does anyone know of/willing to share any good resources for clay sculpting? Looking for book suggestions, gumroad videos, YouTube channels etc. I'm having a hard time finding stuff that goes over fundamentals. Most of the stuff on YouTube is just a demo or sped up process. I need some babby level "this is an armature and this is clay" type of info.

You really need your hand held that much, that you can't figure out "Take a lump of clay, start forming shapes"?
Little kids can figure that out, with Play Doh.
I swear, this board isn't critique anymore, it's mostly lazy people trying to find shortcuts that don't exist.

>so you're saying there's no way you can figure out how to take a pencil and then start forming blocks of values with it?
Do you see how retarded you sound? Every art has fundamentals that need to be learned. If I don't know the basics of setting up a proper armature or knowing what tool to use for what purpose then it's akin to someone trying to render before they've figured out perspective or basic construction.
But fuck fundamentals amirite? I should just jump straight into doing portraits and busts. Fucking end yourself you snarky, no talent hack.

Realizing the planes of the face is incredibly important. Also, anatomy books commonly need to be referenced for good sculpting.
Sculpting without these informational tools is the equivalent of learning to play chess by "just playing chess a lot" rather than reading the strategy books.
