Heads aren't round like soccor balls, like Charlie Brown. norajean_sf: faces aren't flat with featured stuck on it like Mr. Potato head mazutwo: what is it made of norajean_sf: just a little study of skulls and tissue depth and then you can make something like this. This is made with aluminum foil and plain old white Sculpey. It's the first one I made when I was starting out. norajean_sf: Full Face-001 clayladyinred: it would be neat if you could have little pre-made skulls like that around to start from norajean_sf: Here's the page where this form was made. norajean_sf: As you can see on these early web pages, my sculpting skill set was still rough. norajean_sf: I keep these pages up to let folks know that everyone has to start somewhere. norajean_sf: I figured that if I started out with a skull form and then built a face, I'd be closer to sculpting a face than if I attacked a ball of clay with my fists. clayladyinred: you weren't afraid to play norajean_sf: or experiment mazutwo: I am going to get some foil brb norajean_sf: LOL clayladyinred: you've inspired!! norajean_sf: good, inspiration is good. clayladyinred: yeppers! mazutwo: back norajean_sf: shall we take some time here and build another foil skull form with the tissue depth filled in a bit? norajean_sf: we can do that clayladyinred: sounds good leasbeadheaven: YES! stariedawn: yes mazutwo: yes please norajean_sf: ok, let me get some aluminum foil out and let's start crinkling. norajean_sf: let me show you how to make one that's for a small figure like these MerFolk norajean_sf: shall we? clayladyinred: we shall! norajean_sf: then we can move to a larger size. mommaclara2001: sure mazutwo: ok norajean_sf: I pull out about 4 inches, 12cm of foil and then cut that in half mazutwo: the merfolk are lovely love the color in the tails norajean_sf: ya, fish scale cane mazutwo: cool norajean_sf: as you compress the aluminum foil remember you're aiming for a sort of skull shape, ease the foil into shape and as it gets more and more compact then start to shape it by rolling it on the work surface. clayladyinred: you're going for sort of an egg shape, correct? norajean_sf: yup mazutwo: got it clayladyinred: you want to be sure to get it compressed really tight, so you won't have air pockets, which could ruin your sculpt norajean_sf: I'm going to make a quick body to go with this head form norajean_sf: Armature-Grp norajean_sf: no need for screen shots on this Shannon, we got loads of pictures for the aluminum foil armature. clayladyinred: okey dokey norajean_sf: but I'm so happy you and your Momma are here today. norajean_sf: it's like a family visit. he he he clayladyinred: LOL thanks! norajean_sf: ok, who has not seen me make an aluminum foil armature? norajean_sf: who has not made one themselves? mazutwo: me mommaclara2001: Thank you Nj, I am glad to be here too nndewbre: I haven't seen you do a body mazutwo: i have made one stariedawn: hey nj gotta go we are starvin are you going to be on later? norajean_sf: Dawn go eat mommaclara2001: Bye Dawn norajean_sf: I'm going to be doing this tomorrow too norajean_sf: pop in when you have a chance. norajean_sf: Armature-Grp Dawn has left the conference. norajean_sf: I'm going to save log, review this web section on making an aluminum foil armature and just break off three length of foil about four inches/12 cms wide.
