Hello. I'm Jordu Schell for the Stan Winston School of Character Arts.
Today, I'm going to be showing you how to go about creating a humanoid character maquette.
It's so important to have patience with yourself as you do this stuff, and I know that because
I've had a million frustrating times attempting to create things throughout my life.
When I was hit with a challenge, it could be very, very frustrating if I couldn't get it right away.
It's very, very important to be patient with yourself as an artist, and to be patient
in your learning of the medium, whatever it is whether it's latex, silicone, clay, you
know, whatever it is. Be patient with yourself and with the medium. You will get there.
It may take longer than you want, but you will get there. To get all of these proportions,
just right. It's such a specific thing and it's something that we see every day.
The tiniest piece of clay can make all the difference in the world.
In creating this, I will be able to use it
as a guideline for everything that is subsequent in establishing whoever I cast the body of,
I could use this as a reference and say, "This is the pose." To use it to compare against
when posing my actor, when tweaking the figure in whatever way I do. This is kind of a guideline
for everything that I want the finished piece to be.
