This bust sculpture of Keanu Reeves as John Wick was created as the final project for the sculptural anatomy course at SculptArt School. I tried to capture the essence of John Wick's character — his unyielding determination, calculated demeanor, and signature style.
I've included 2 versions of the sculpture are presented: the final version, where I incorporated feedback from my mentor to refine the likeness as well as I try to add the emotions and movement to the piece. And the second version is the one that I initially showcased during the project defense.
Additionally, I’ve included all the stages of the portrait’s creation, showing how the sculpture came together from A to Z — from the foundational anatomy to the fine details.
It was a very exhausting, but also energizing and inspiring experience.
I hope you enjoy this tribute to an iconic character.
