In this video, I recreate the timeless charm of a plaster bust, but instead of using traditional graphite or charcoal, I bring it to life through digital drawing in Sumo Paint.

Sumo Paint, developed by the Finnish creative technology company Sumo, is part of their web-based creative suite designed to make art and design accessible to everyone.

Sumo provides browser-based tools for drawing, painting, image editing, and even audio and video creation — all without requiring installation.

Within that ecosystem, Sumo Paint stands out as “the ultimate drawing and painting app” offering hundreds of brushes, layers, effects, and blending tools that allow artists to simulate traditional media with digital flexibility.

Its goal is to empower both beginners and professionals to create from anywhere — whether on desktop, tablet, or mobile.

Using Sumo Paint, I focused on replicating the delicate surface of plaster and the play of light and shadow that defines its form.

This digital study is both a practice in patience and precision — translating classical drawing techniques into a modern, digital medium.

Whether you’re an artist exploring new tools or simply enjoy watching the creative process unfold, this video is a relaxing insight into digital craftsmanship.
