How-To: Custom Sculpting Tools 1by *BlackHoleInAJar

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / deviantART Tutorials

This is my first tutorial on DA!

I've seen a lot of sculptures on here of dogs, rodents and other furry creatures. And knowing how hard it is to make fur or feathers and how LONG it takes to make them look right, I figured that I should show how to make a feathering tool to speed up the process.

DISCLAIMER: You have to know how use this tool, it's not gonna make the fur or feathers just happen. You're still going to need to use a single needle tool.
Logo(s) owned by me.

If you use this, be sure to give credit and send me picture.

Do you know where they have tutorials on how to use tools like these?

*BlackHoleInAJar Mar 23, 2013 Professional Artisan Crafter

Unfortunately, no, and there doesn't appear to be any on DA. I thought about making one but I don't know yet.

I hope you decide to one day

Keep an eye out, I might come up with something.

GOD BLESS ! AMEN !

~PinkyTexan Mar 22, 2012 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

I like your tutorials. I use all sorts of things for tools that aren't specifically made for the way I use them. I love going to the dollar store and finding all sorts of things that I can re-purpose.

*BlackHoleInAJar Mar 26, 2012 Professional Artisan Crafter

Well, thank you.

I've never done that before. Most of my tools that I've made have been composed of wire or stuff I found or stuff my dad gave me. Cheap as free.

Nice tutorial, I haven't thought of it before

One critique though, your huge dark logo in the background makes text difficult to read. Either put it on the top, bottom or corner (not below the text), or keep it veeery subtle, just a nuance lighter or darker then the background. I'm a professional designer so trust me on this one

*BlackHoleInAJar May 25, 2011 Professional Artisan Crafter

There you go, is that light enough?

~MissAnnThropia May 31, 2011 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

I don't remember how it was before, but when I lean back on my chair it's still a bit too to scan the text with no effort. In this case I would rather make it lighter than the background (a transparent white overlay), or reeeeealy really subtle.. almost invisible

You really don't need that huge logo, and if someone's going to steal your tutorial they'll do it regardless since there's no name/url on it
