Course Description

Overview

If you're into bugs and insects, this class is for you!
I am going to guide you through the process of sculpting your very own beetles from scratch.
No prior knowledge needed! However, bring in some patience for better results!
I will explain my process through three examples, the eyed ladybug, a blue scarab and the blue fungus beetle.
I will also show you two different ways to make legs.
In the end I'm also going to share some of my artwork for you to go further.
