Start with a
small ball
of polymer clay.
Stick a pipe
cleaner in it.
Here I have used
Sculpey III |
Add a neck
around
the bottom.
Don't worry about the length of the neck
right now.
Long is good. |
Press your
finger in
the middle of the clay
for forehead. Use the
end of a paintbrush
to make 2 indents for
eye sockets. |
Side view of
what
we have just done.
The forehead is too
low at this point and
eyes are too high but
we can fix that. |
|
Add a tiny
ball of
clay for nose, or pull
a bit on the bridge
that was made
by the indents. |
Cut a light
line under
the bottom of nose.
This will be the
mouth. How quickly
the face changes. |
Here, cheeks
are smoothed, tiny holes for nostrils are added.
Forehead is built up
|
See the
difference in
the forehead profile.
The nose is shaped a bit more too.
|
|
Add a tiny
ball of
clay to each eye
socket. Smooth out.
Add tiny balls of
clay to each side
of nose. |
Cut tiny line
across the
center of each eye.
Define nostrils.
Open mouth a bit.
You can see her
waking up! |
Gently open
the eyes.
Smooth the lower
lids into the cheeks.
Upper lips have
started to be
defined. |
Here the eyes
have been softened, the
cheeks smoothed
a bit. The face
has been
straightened out. |
|
Constantly
check
the evenness of the
sculpture by looking
at it from all angles.
This one needs
some work. |
The dolls
eyelids are
being further defined
Her brow bones are
also being worked on.
|
Look how much
more
human her profile is.
Her nose is coming
along nicely.
|
Here the lids
have
been blended in.
A bit of clay has
added to her chin
to round out her
profile. |
|
A quick check
shows
her brow line
to be uneven.
a tiny coil of clay
will fix that. |
Now look at
the profile.
Chin is more prominent
Brow line is better.
|
Add a small
roll of
clay to the
upper lip area.
|
Smooth out
the clay
She should now
have a nice
over bite. We
will fix that next. |
