Another question BM... Can you draw?
Yes, as every body can draw! well I am not very good at drawing, but live and direct drawing I am good at that
and a bit of painting

Was wondering, if a person can work out depth and visually craft soemthing as you havethey must be able to draw as the two are one and the same. One on paper, one with clay/appropiate materials.

Well you don't have to know how to draw to use clay, most of the sculpture drawing are a bit wade when you look at it, it dosen't realy make sence to others that much, in my case I do a sketch of drawing of my work first before I start modelling it.

You can visualised craft as well when making it without drawing, in that case the picture of that object is snap in you vision and in your memory.

Right or Wrong? ???

Also, can you use diffrent materials? I mean theres clay, metal etc... would they involve using diffrent skills rather than the obvious???
I haven't try other materials, but I would like to try and use wood, and metal especiall bronz which is my native origin,

I guess everyone can draw... but its like saying everyone can write and watching them draw embarrasing scribbles. Always wished I could draw, properly, like robots andother weird things that only Rebel-lion thinks of.

Thats cool man. You could have the sculptures with the drawing, it'll be like a collectors thing,

Posh Art person #1; ''I have3 Basic-Meo sculptures, all origional''

Posh art person #2; ''Ahhh, but you don't have the drawings!''

lol

So really you can make 2D into a 3D peice of art, or make 2D look like 3D on paper... likeswtiching dimensions in Dr Who or something... thats what I was thinking about. Thing is, people that can drawcan't normally make sculptures, it only works in reverse. The sculpture has a better understanding of angles and dimensions than most artists.

What you gonna make in bronze and how do you make it? Do you have to make a mold and pour it in or something?...Can you make a Lion with a red green and black mane? That'd be well cool.

Sorry 4 being nosy btw, can see you're a humble guy.

Peace

Rebel-Lion, you just have to believe that you can do it, to be hornest with you Iam not better than you in drawing... any body can do any thing if he/she put interest on it. Remember that prectice make perfect!

yeh I love art and I like to feel it that is why I took up to modelling. 2D to 3D can be difficult you just have to use your imagination to complete the other side of it.

What you gonna make in bronze and how do you make it? Do you have to make a mold and pour it in or something?...Can you make a Lion with a red green and black mane? That'd be well cool.
At this moment I haven't have any experience in bronz I want to learn it. Next year when I go to Nigeria, I want to see if I will have the chance to learn it in the local craft workshop or I will do a scrach course in the university over there...

Making craft of description from people is not a problem, if someone give me a drawing or a picture I would be able to do it in ceramics the Lion sound very good too to make... I am thinking now to devolt part of my time to 16 and 17 century sculpture of Africa and others to my Imagination.

I still have one work coming up before july, I will noticfy you when I have it finish. after that until september the workshop is close for holiday.

THX a lot for your interest if you have any Q feel free to write me

it is a special paint, a marble finishing, and it mixed with peces of glass which give it a reflex staing finishing

Its cool.

Prefer the other one to this one. The crafting is perfect its just not my thing, prefer the dark browns and earth colours.

Have you ever thought of doing somethingfrom Basquiat? Hes got some brilliantpaintings that'd look good in that style.
