Sculpting A
Crone by Marj Franke |
Part 3
The Head. This is where the fun begins. Make the basic shape of a head. Remember to form strong brow ridges and don't be shy about the size of the nose. Cheeks are added separately to create an eye socket and to give more contour to the face. It looks quite exaggerated when you first add the cheek pads, but - as you smooth them in - you'll see the face start to take on some character. Add eyeballs formed of black Super Sculpey (and prebaked). Be sure to make a generous size eye. it brings the figure to life. Cut a mouth being careful not to cut her cheeks. Ears may be pinched out now or covered with hair later. Teeth can be created with white Sculpey. Make a thin band of Sculpey scored to look like 4 teeth. Make the teeth a little taller than you think they should be so after they are baked you can insert them into her gums. I have also added thin strips above and below her eyes (eyelids and bags below the eyes).
