Let me know what you think of this "mini-tutorial" of sorts! Should I make more of these? Maybe a new one for ears? A nose? A whole face?? Let me know! Hope you find this video helpful and it makes you enjoy sculpting hands a little more. See you again soon ❤

Probably the first and only sensible and coherent hand sculpting tutorial I’ve seen on this platform

[LaurenVanDerHoven]

mini tutorials do help a lot because I'm starting to sculpt with clay and I didn't know where to start and this video is going to help me so much thank you

[xKazIsKoolx]

I'd love to see more of these. I've been wanting to get into this, but didn't really know where to start, but a series of videos like this showing how you sculpt each part of the body would really help

[mizzuzie]

I'm not a beginner and I'm still happy to watch a video like this. There are so many ways to create a hand so there is always something new to learn.

[dartmart]

I have been waiting for THIS for a very long time, ever since I noticed your first figure’s hands a couple of years ago.

[billbucktube]

Like it! Gotta hand it to ya…. Hands off to you. Errr, hats off. It's obvious you have hands on experience with hands. On the other hand, it is superb. I'd like to give you a hand in applause. I have needed this kind of hand with doing hands. Let me hand you a trophy for hands. Quite a helping hand. You are an old hand at hands! Handily the best hand sculpt I’ve seen.

[deeval]

I’ve been waiting for this. Thank you I wish my fingers were as nimble as yours .

[composing-chaos]

I’m glad you did this. I remember you did a couple of “how-to” videos when you first started your channel. I believe they were on creating the ear and mouth. These mini tutorials are so helpful!

[obadijahparks]

The detail series that this is starting is very inspirational. Thank you.

I took a doll sculpting class over thirty years ago. I only made one more doll after the class because I was not happy with the materials. In class we only had original Super Sculpy, no wire or bake & bond or paint. I tried painting on my next doll but had no idea what to use. Watching your work has made it so much clearer where things were going wrong for me. I appreciate your information on materials and techniques I did not know about. I didn’t learn how to make hand armatures so this video was very helpful. I hope to try again using all of your information. Keep on sharing!

[kristim]

Love this! Thank you! Would love to see more detailed videos like this. Details of faces, ears! Thank you for sharing your amazing sculpting skills!

[moochiepie]

Ace, thank you so much. This tutorial is extremely helpful. It makes me realize that I should be taking way more time to sculpt hands than I’ve been taking. More tutorials please!

[chrismuramatsu]

Interesting sculpting hands tutorial. I would enjoy seeing sculpting faces and more detailed tutorials on the components. Thanks as always.

[amandagermany]

I'm always amazed at the light touch you have even with big hands. I have little lady hands and still mangle the clay.

[maddieadams]

Very nice tutorial. Been sculpting for over 25 yrs, always looking at others technique to incorporate or just watch. 🍁🍂🧡

[Morgan-ylou]

I gotta hand it to you....
A smashing video.
👏👏👏
👍🏻👍🏻

[caroldragon]

I love your sculpting videos. Even though I'm not into sculpting characters, the techniques you show are invaluable. This video on sculpting hands was so enjoyable as well as informative. Kudos to you, Ace.

[vividvw]

Love the mini tutorial with very helpful tips and no long intro. I'd love to see more like this.

[nailinartwithlisa]

This is very informative. I have a hard time with hands. I think this will help. Yes please do more!
