Greenstuff tips

[Patrick]

We added a new overview of using Kneadatite Green and Brown putty to the Tips (http://www.morgankeithstudios.com/tips_putty.html) section of our site. Probably not a lot of useful info here for seasoned veteran sculptors but check out all the really cool close up photos of my big thumbs!

Tips - Green putty (http://www.morgankeithstudios.com/tips_putty.html)

A very useful article for beginers. You might want to add rubber-shapers to the list of tools. I tend to find them extremely helpful in the finishing steps.

Thanks GS! I don't have any shapers yet but have heard they are good for doing all sorts of stuff like folds in cloaks and other things. I will add extra sections to update that as I go.

@Patrick : I've got 2 of them, a wedge and a cone. If you need pics to illustrate your article but don't plan on buying a shaper in the near futur, I'll be happy to send you one of those I have. I use them for anything (cloaks, faces, weapons, armor, ...) except fur. They tend to give a better finish to GS (you know how GS tends to have that puffy look if you don't work on it till the very end ;)).

Hey that would be great! I can add them on the next update. Thanks!

I'll get the pic up this week-end and PM you the link ;).

[EricJ]

um, yeah, those look awesome, got to get me some! thanks :)

I've just sort of been faking it as I sort of try to learn to sculpt, lol

Well... I haven't really use mine for anything but filling gaps, but it helps making the putty smooth and also if I need to resculpt some texture.

[EricJ]

yeah, I've been using a toothpick...that's a pain in the ass...since they're not smooth

For smoothing surfaces with Green stuff I use Virgin Olive Oil works awesome!
