Slightly less scary? (maybe not)
My new 2T cheeky boy sculpt has progressed a bit since we last spoke. After grinding the eye sockets to open them up more, I hot-glued a couple of 1.25" wood knobs inside the head. They'll act as a backstop when I PaperClay over them.
My main goal was to shape the upper lip, though I added to the right and left cheeks. Everything isn't quite left-to-right even yet, but by moving this far along and letting the PaperClay dry, I can balance the two sides more easily next time out.
I agree with " by moving this far along and letting the PaperClay dry, I can balance the two sides more easily".
ReplyDeleteWaiting to see this when its done. Good luck, great job :)
