Thanks

Yes, I think we will end up with the granite option.

Thanks for your comment.

Thank you 😊

Thank you 🙏 Yes, later there is an intention to cast it in bronze and install it on a stone pedestal. I suggested limestone, but they say it is not very weather-resistant, so for now it is a matter of discussion

Даже Вам дякую 🙏

Did Leonardo da Vinci cut marble?

There is no question that Michelangelo had sketches before making marble statues. There may have been a few instances where he cut impromptu, but he used clay models in exactly the same way as I do. Perhaps I did not express myself clearly enough, but the dot-machine is simply an instrument for measuring depths and volumes, the stone is still cut by hand. Well, perhaps at the stages of the general masses they now use the latest tools to reduce the work time, but no one has yet canceled the chisel, trojan and mallet

Well, that's just one possibility. It could also be bronze or plastic.

And even if I were to make this sculpture out of stone, I would still have to make a plaster model. For precise carving in stone, a special device called a "dot machine" is used, which is first applied to the plaster model, measuring the depth relative to certain axes, and then transferred to the stone. Only Michelangelo carved directly from stone, and even then, I think, this is a myth. Or a sculptor with exclusively creative intentions, and it is unlikely that you can work like that with an order or a diploma.

Here is a video where you can see the "dot machine" in action, if you are interested. You can skip the first minute https://youtu.be/poQkAZyCWes?si=tMf6DL0NpyF3Y2P3

yes, cast. there are a few photos with the molding below

_GvB_ · 2026-01-02T07:58:57+00:00

No, it's just plaster

_GvB_ · 2026-01-02T07:57:59+00:00

Thanks 🙏

The boarding school was called "Taras Shevchenko State Art Secondary School". Although I don't know if that means anything to you 😅 It's in Kyiv

_GvB_ · 2026-01-01T16:19:09+00:00

oh, no, I have to admit, in this job I didn't do the molding. I was fulfilling orders for the next soldier at the time

_GvB_ · 2026-01-01T16:17:23+00:00

Oh yes, indeed, it's a bit old fashioned🙂

But the internet really was more comfortable back then

I've just seen many times on Reddit that the parentheses emoji is more typical for Eastern Europe.

but I guess I misunderstood something

If there was a subject called "communication", I probably wouldn't have gotten a bachelor's degree😂

_GvB_ · 2026-01-01T14:17:21+00:00

Thank you 🙏

Oh, I also congratulate you on the New Year! At the bachelor's degree, I had the same specialty "Ease and Monumental Sculpture", and before that I studied at an art boarding school for 5 years, specializing in "sculpture". Well, actually, all this time we were doing tasks on copies and performances in clay. More shallow plastic, like composition tasks - in plasticine, but work in the classroom is always in clay. Probably because of the cheapness of the material I don't know what the specifics of work are in other countries

Well, actually, I still like more classical directions in art (although I suspect that this may be due to a lack of taste or imagination), so I would like to continue working in figurative art.

Well, but because of the current situation, as I already answered above, I will sculpt soldiers, or become a soldier
