Lay the
finished sculpture.
(in this case, Melissa's head)
on a hard surface.
Secure the sculpture
with a small ball of
oil based clay on the
back of the head. |
Hold pencil
vertical to the
sculpture. Press pencil
lead gently against sculpture
and carefully run it
around the sculpture.
Check to see that pencil
lines show up all
around the sculpture. |

A nice size
slab of oil base
clay has been scooped out
where the back of the
head will rest.
Again, it is of utmost
importance to keep the
at a 90 degree angle
to the base of clay. |
Here is an
overhead
view of the head with
the ear areas
scooped out.
I find it easier to scoop
out the clay rather
than try to mold it
around the head. |
Here is a
side view of
the head in the clay. By
scooping out of the clay
it will save time trying
to add so much clay
to the mold.
Notice the right angle
of the sculpture. |
|
The Clay has
now been added
around the remaining
areas of the head, coming
up to the dark marker
lines all around the sculpture.
|
Here is
another angle
of the clay base we have
created around the sculpture.
Now is the time to carefully smooth the
clay around the head and be sure
it comes up to the lines.
