actually i was probably just meant to be a subtractive sculptor instead of an additive sculptor. my parents are both additive sculptors. but if the way i enjoyed shading (when i used to do my old workflow) says anything, then i would probably do better with subtraction. i dunno i never tried. thats sadly not really how 3d modeling tools work, really. but i do like to carve spoons out of wood which is subtractive, its sort of sculpting i suppose.

#kenny only sculpts subtractively #which i guess to people less familiar w modeling and sculpting they would be like 'does it matter do you need to specify'#YES.#i think he would be pretty lost if you asked him to sculpt the other way.#like the way polymer clay artists make shit.#sure hed figure it out eventually but he would take a few minutes to get his bearings #also idk if additive and subtractive are the right words for sculpting. i borrowed them from my cnc classes #when we talked abt the different ways to machine a part #milling machine? subtractive. 3d printer? additive.
