When you like someone, you want to see, talk, touch them, and keep them by your side. I think this work is the same. When I create my own character, I think that part is the biggest attraction because it goes beyond what you see, you can touch it with your own hands and put it by your side.
Class recommendation target
- Those who want to create their own characters
- Those who want to have a hobby that differentiates them from others
- Those who are not satisfied with collecting figures
- Those who wanted to learn art toy modeling
- Those who are interested in art toys, but find it difficult to find a workshop or workshop on their own
- Those who want to experience 3D modeling and other post-processing/painting work to create their own art toys in the future
Estimated class time
It is mainly divided into 6 chapters. If you choose an all-in-one painting package with hands-on training, you can create as few as 5 to as many as 20 art toys.
It takes about 3 weeks to make an art toy. The time required may vary depending on the individual and the speed of progress.
What do you learn?
3D model your own toy using the G-Brush tool
Zbrush (Zbrush) is an essential programming tool for modeling in art toys. I'm going to use this tool to learn basic modeling. Since classes focus on modeling art toys, you will learn not just character design, but design each part and model suitable for 3D print output.
Replicating a 3D printed prototype with silicon
After the modeling is finished, the prototype is printed out by 3D printing. By making a silicone mold, you will replicate this prototype in multiple ways, and it can be said that it is the core and most fun work of art toy production. You will understand the characteristics of silicon, learn how to make a frame, and the precautions for making a frame.
Paint the same, but with a different feel
Work instructions and precautions
🙋 For those who choose a package with physical training, Tobey will perform 3D printing (output). Once the 3D modeling is completed, you will be sent a file to Tobay's email, and the 3D printing will be carried out in Tobay's workshop. The completed printout (doll figure) will be additionally shipped to the students.
🙋 In this class, only models up to 15 cm can be 3D printed, and the 3D printing cost in the package is only included for 1 type of modeling.
🙋 Always ensure good ventilation after work.
🙋 I use the one-month trial version of G-BRUSH for classesHowever, after the trial period is over, only those who wish can purchase the program for a fee (‼️ Those who have already used the G-Brush trial version cannot reuse the trial version).
‼️ Urethane resin used for reproduction has harmful ingredients Pregnant women and children are not encouraged to participate. For a typical adult, good ventilation is all you need.
‼️ When painting, the work is carried out in the spray booth included in the package, and the booth absorbs most of the particles from the airbrush. Paintwork is prohibited for pregnant women.
Q & A
Q. Can all of these tasks be done at home? A. Yes, these are all tasks you can do at home if you have a window. However, it must be well ventilated. Also, art toys are fun to work at home if you follow a few of the precautions I'll give you during class.
Q. Wouldn't it be difficult to learn the G-Brush tools because they don't handle things like programs very well? A. It's definitely more difficult than Photoshop or other programs. However, if you use the UI I'm sharing, you'll be able to easily follow along and learn. It is important to do a lot of review and do a lot of modeling with this shape or that shape.
Q. Can I do well even if I'm not a goldson? A. It would be great if you had money, but if you use a modeling tool such as G-Brush, you can become a golden loser. Everyone can be a great art toy artist.
[All-in-one package]
- Modeling package = course ticket+tablet
- Art Toy Full Course Package A = Course Ticket + 3D Printing Printing Fee + Post-Processing Set+ Reproduction Set+ Painting Set
- Art Toy Full Course Package B = Art Toy Full Course Package A+ Tablet
Wacom CTL-4100 tablet
This tablet is essential for using G-Brush, a 3D modeling program. It is a small tablet with a width of 200 mm, a width of 160 mm, and a thickness of 8.8 mm. It is easy to carry and can be used more practically. Includes the tablet itself with the Wacom Pen 4K, USB cable, 3 extra nibs, a nib removal tool, a quick start guide, and 1 free software download license.
- Software option 1: Corel Painter Essentials 6 for illustration
- Software option 2: Corel AfterShot 3 for photo editing
Postprocessing set
This is a post-processing package required for surface cleaning after 3D printing or cloning. It consists of red putty, surfacer 100 (gray), magic sculppy, art knife, pin vice, clip, rubber henna, and crocodile clip.
(The surfacer white in the post-processing set is included in the paint set. If you only apply for a paint set, we will send you a separate white paper.)
replication set
These are materials for replicating prototypes printed by 3D printing. It consists of LEGO, 1 kg of UTO, instant adhesive, vaseline, nippers, 2 types of plastic sticks, 3 kg of Shin Arts silicone, and 2 kg of hard urethane.
(Due to the discontinuation of Naver Block, it was changed to LEGO, and the instant adhesive curing agent was excluded from the components.)
paint set
These are tools for coloring copied art toys. It consists of a set of rubber gloves, thinner, 2 types of clears, 6 types of lockers, 7 color bottles, epoxy adhesive, and a staggering airbrush. (Includes spray booth)
🙋 Some of the components may vary according to market conditions and will be announced in advance.
Differences by package option
- You can view all content with a course ticket. You can think of the package configuration as different depending on how far you practice physical work together.
- For those who already have a tablet that can use the G-Brush tool, we have also prepared an option that excludes the tablet. (Art Toy Full Course Package A/ Paint Package A)
- The biggest advantage of the full art toy package is that 1) you can enjoy the entire art toy production process with your own hands, and 2) you can replicate as many dolls as you like until you run out of reproduction materials.
📩 The package is subject to some changes, and we will be fully informed if there are any changes.
Curriculum
Creator
tOBEY
I'm “Tobey,” an art toy artist who mainly likes and makes toys for situations I'm currently experiencing.
Since I was a kid, I drew the characters I imagined in sketchbooks.
I only drew pictures when I filled the paper with characters, and when I imagined those characters being in one place.
Some characters are extremely powerful, others are timid, other friends are smart,
In this way, each person created their own personality, and unfolded their imagination alone.
Also, when I was a student, I loved drawing pictures of my friends as characters.
As such, I wasn't a professional, but I came across something called art toys when I was living with a love for creating and drawing characters.
This is a field I wanted to do in words, and something like a passion came up in my heart.
Since then, I fell in love with making art toys, and I wasn't the same major as sculpture.
I felt that there was a limit to modeling by hand, so I learned a program called ZBrush, which is a program optimized for character modeling.
Since other schools that teach ZBrush almost always teach me in a way that suits the game environment, I am self-taught and studied based on materials from overseas.
As a result, I came up with a curriculum suited to art toys, and I wanted to do this with people like me, so I decided to create a class.
