For someone who only got into sculpting roughly eight years ago, Adam Beane sure knows how to work it well. Wanting more than the usual materials used for sculpting, Beane created his own called CX5. This material allows him to create the amazing photorealistic faces seen in the above gallery.
Adam Beane's CX5 is a revolutionary substance for artists as it "handles like clay when warm, but is as hard as plastic when it is cool."
