I picked it up ...I do actually have some ProCreate. I picked it up ages ago... over a year... maybe two... but for some reason have yet to try it out!? It was a little harder to track down than green stuff at the time and a bit more expensive... so it somehow became "precious" only to be used to "something special". <br /><br />It's weird. It's like this pad of watercolour paper my mom bought for me as a young teen after I'd taken a watercolour painting class. I remember he telling me it was "good" paper and "not cheap" and was thus for making "good paintings" - y'know not for just mucking about with... I never ended up using it. I found it years later in the bottom of a box that's moved about with me from house to house for decades... When I found it I remember looking at it and seeing the price tag and laughing - because what I was buying myself to paint on by that point was far more expensive.... but I had somehow built up in my mind that it was far to precious to use and could only use it when I had the skill to make something beautiful on it... of course if you don't actually practice (and on decent paper) how is one ever to get "skilled enough"?!<br /><br />I've tried, at least with drawing and painting stuff, to always by quality materials and USE them... but somehow, have got caught in the "it's too precious" cycle with the ProCreate... <br /><br />That's it... next figure I sculpt I'll use the damn ProCreate!!timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-53568176282500630462011-11-20T13:22:54.691-08:002011-11-20T13:22:54.691-08:00I like it. I think that's a good approach, to ...I like it. I think that's a good approach, to make a basic figure, cast it up, and then build further figures on that.<br />It looks like you're using greenstuff. Have you ever tried Procreate? I bought some a while back, but have yet to do any sculpting with it. It's supposed to better at holding sharp edges.Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.com
