RE: HOW I MADE A HANDMADE OOAK BRUCE LEE STATUE - STEP BY STEP + GALLERY
What an artisan you are. That is truly magnificent - and in reading about all the revisions you went through, I can see you're not just dedicated to your craft.. but an "over-the-top" pro .
Thanks for this interesting journey; was a nice way to spend my morning. When you said you used doll hair for the eyebrows, I raised an eyebrow .
And the statue is certainly better by not being 'glued' to a support post on the base! Also, I thought the #Kung #Fu shoes came out well.
I know what Bruce Lee looked like - and this is very realistic. Out of the pictures, I enjoyed most the ones at beginning (styrofoam), and ones at the end (showing finished sculpture).
Also the ones showing his kung fu slippers, and the stages the hair went through
Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was definitely a journey I'll never forget. Many times I thought to just pack it in having restarted on one too many face attempts. It was truly torturous lol, however, I would go through similar facial sculpting hells with other statues. Can't wait to show more of my pain haha.
Enjoyed is an understatement! This is amazing! Thank you for documenting the process. If u wanna do it again I'll buy one :) upvoted and resteemed!
You're welcome and thank you. Followed back. I would love to make another one but right now I've put statuemaking on hold. There's actually 11 unfinished Bruce Lee statues staring at me haha. When I moved from Japan to Canada, the one thing I left behind that I miss so badly is my art studio, the lighting and feel. Without it, I just don't feel it... I had made 9 statues there. After the completing the 10th one in Canada, I had to stop. It's been 6 months and I'm just waiting on the feeling to return. I'm sorry if that doesn't make any sense.
If I do return, absolutely, one will have your name on it. :)
