Head on toothpick

[Ferris]

Very impressive man!
Looking very professional.
The female indeed looks feminine.
Only think the jawline of the female is a bit too pronounced, particularly on the right side.

Cheers,
Adrian

Yap, right, will trim down both sides and refine jawline...that should not be a problem.
But those damn eyes are...so small and they should be very symmetrical for female...

 

[pokrad]

Some progress, still symmetry problems..

Hi Pokrad,if you don,t mind a couple of suggestions, my favourite method for doing eyes is to use ballbearings. That way you are assured that both eyes are the same size. I usually do 90mm or busts. but I should think that the right size for 120mm heads would be about 2mm.
Also, rather than putting the head on a toothpick, use brass wire. YYou can bend over the end for a more secure basis to work on, and you can hold the other end in a pin vice.
And for making tools I glue either brass rod filed to the required shape or various grades of needle into the end of "dead" paintbrushes.
Regarding the sculpting, I think they are coming along beautifully.
Best wishes, Gary.

Thank You Garry for the tips...
The female head is getting some body, and I can't figure out any lame excuse to make semy-naked one, so it will be a fantasy piece
Pics soon...

Very rough start...my favorite wooden stand broke off today - fortunately armature still holds:

I admire your honesty

It's not the honesty - it's wisdom that comes with age - to know when there is no point to lie as everyone would know the truth anyway

Lack of free time lately, but I am pushing it forward slowly:

Very nice work! I think you've improved a great deal, since the last time I was on this forum.

I've tried beesputty myself, but I found even the firm type to be too soft for my liking. Maybe because I used it for 28mm/1:56 sculpts! But if you like polymer clay that's easier to mix and stickier than the usual clays, can I suggest Uro Hot Set? Here's a quick review of it:

I think this "variant" of BeesPutty I am using is relative new and harder than the older ones:

But will check the link for sure, thanks
