I know this blog is supposed to be my work etc. But every now and then I come across something really amazing, and seeing Jim Mckenzie's work is a must see. A true artist and perfectionist. I can do a little bit of drawing, and can do a decent job of painting, but I think I would lose my mind scuplting as well. This project started out in 2014 from drawings from what I can tell and simply amazes me at time involved. I hope you enjoy this 6 minute video as much as I did. He even wrote the music for the presentation.
Permission was given to show this as long as credit was given. So I have cut and pasted below.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agree with you sir, you can learn so much watching others at work and helps understand the process better.

Hey... it looks like he uses a #6 or a #8 brush. I bet if you put a 5-0 in his hand he'd be lost!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! That's funny, maybe so, but I wouldn't count on it;)
