norajean_sf: let's review the face grid.
rschneiter1963: why the tin foil
norajean_sf: http://www.norajean.com/DemoStuff/091005-FaceGrid.htm
bonsaikathy: armature
everclay: release
norajean_sf: The tin foil was put on the ceramic skull as a "release" so the clay didn't stick to it in the oven.
rschneiter1963: ok
norajean_sf: Exactly correct, Eva.
everclay: see
clayladyinred: creepy... a skull with braces ;-)
everclay: lol

You have invited nndewbre to view your webcam.

clayladyinred: maybe I could get one of my kids to stand still long enough that I could try it on them ;-)
clayladyinred: yes raven
nndewbre: Yee gads
clayladyinred: eyes at half mark
norajean_sf: Check that page on face grid it has the explanation, you can book mark it for later.
nndewbre: Hi all, ok will do
norajean_sf: now let's put in the "V" lines, side of the nose, cheek bone, side of mouth, under lower lip.
rschneiter1963: will you keep the clay lines there?
bonsaikathy: no
bonsaikathy: they'll eventually be adjusted to form the face
mazutwo: will we have pics of this
bonsaikathy: but they are there to show you the proportions and give you a visual as to how to move the clay into place
nndewbre: We doing forensic science here?
bonsaikathy: for all the features
norajean_sf: not unless someone volunteers to do screen shots.
raven_hill_wench: thats looking like a science experiment gone wrong heh <ducks>
norajean_sf: Biz-Archive/MSAT/ClayArt/WebCam/ScreenShots.htm
mazutwo: sorry can't help didn't read up on that
norajean_sf: the indentation of the cheek bones is a big "V"

raven_hill_wench: I saw those movies but didnt remember all their names
beadyeyedbrat: He calls them "creatively gruesome"
clayladyinred: say that 10 times fast
norajean_sf: LOL
norajean_sf: Ok, so are there any questions about the fact grid and the "V" lines?
norajean_sf: why we use them as guides in sculpting?
mazutwo: no
raven_hill_wench: nope
norajean_sf: Someone mentioned forensice and sculpting.
nndewbre: not me, I'll catch the first part next round
beadyeyedbrat: Love forensics
leasbeadheaven: I'm back. yikes that's scary looking.
clayladyinred: wb Lea
norajean_sf: http://www.norajean.com/Rambles/10-28-04-ForensicsSculpting.htm
nndewbre: Looks like I need a spell checker on messenger <g>
norajean_sf: There's a ramble, and it's linked to the face sculpting demo prep page. That talks about using facial reconstruction and forensics as a tool to sculpting.
norajean_sf: there's a link to a page of links to sites that deal with this topic.
norajean_sf: one thing about using a skull for sculpting is there's less added clay to the top of the skull than to the bottom, around the cheeks especially.
leasbeadheaven: I know I missed the beginning, but could you give me a brief breakdown of what i missed, if u don't mind?
norajean_sf: which part honey? The Face Grid?
leasbeadheaven: yup
norajean_sf: http://www.norajean.com/DemoStuff/091005-FaceGrid.htm
norajean_sf: book mark that page and tell me when you're done.
norajean_sf: ok?
leasbeadheaven: go it. thanks
norajean_sf: For those who have not book marked the face sculpting prep page...
marlea_anderson: i have to go for a while- need to get dinner started- hopefully i can peek in a few times
norajean_sf: http://www.norajean.com/DemoStuff/01-13to15-06-FaceSculpting/Prep.htm
norajean_sf: book mark that and it has a boat load of links for face sculpting, the face grid, forensic sculpting, etc.
norajean_sf: made for your convenience and mine, LOL.
leasbeadheaven: did you first put foil on the face before adding clay? I think that's when I stepped away
norajean_sf: ok, why do I use a face grid before sculpting a face.
norajean_sf: Oh that? I had a foil and clay cover to a ceramic skull prepared in advance. I'll take it off the skull to show you.
rschneiter1963: to get it lin3d up?
rschneiter1963: lined up?
mazutwo: So you put clay where it builds the features
rschneiter1963: to flesh it out?
rschneiter1963: like them crime shows?
norajean_sf: Now who has watched CSI, the forensic TV show?
beadyeyedbrat: mememe
clayladyinred: me me me!
nndewbre: memememe
beadyeyedbrat: And Forensic files
rschneiter1963: no but I watched others
mazutwo: me too
raven_hill_wench: I love csi
norajean_sf: so those who have watched forensic files or CSI have seen the process of building up a skull to get the face of someone who has come into harm's way?
raven_hill_wench: yep
beadyeyedbrat: yup
mazutwo: yes
nndewbre: yup
norajean_sf: then why don't we use these same skills in sculpting?
norajean_sf: use a skull under all the faces we sculpt
norajean_sf: and then build up on that skull?
nndewbre: because it cost money? <g>
clayladyinred: sounds just crazy enough to work LOL
norajean_sf: this is the opposite approach than the face grid on a lump of clay.
beadyeyedbrat: I wanna bucky skill
norajean_sf: instead of working from the surface down, we work from the skull forward.
mazutwo: well I did once but it was made out of foil shaped like a skull
norajean_sf: it's not expensive if you use a small foil skull that you've fasioned at your work table.
