Side view of 
upper lip.
Her profile is
really taking shape.

Add a roll of clay
to the bottom lip area just under the last section you added.

Side view of profile.
Her mouth now
looks more
balanced.

Her lips are 
defined a bit more.
Her chin is
slightly
reshaped.

Side view shows
how her lips
have developed.
They still need
more work. 

Now her face is 
being shaped.
It will continue
to change as the
sculpture 
progresses.

It's good to keep
looking at the
sculpture from
all angles to 
make sure it
has symmetry.

Her face and
cheeks have been
padded out.

The extra padding
has given her
a more 
youthful look.

The back of her head has also been
evened out to
give her skull
a nice shape.

Here , her lips
and mouth have 
been opened
up a bit.

Notice the 
difference that
little line across
her lips made
to her profile.

After studying her
for awhile.  I decided
her heavy eyelids
also added age.
They have been
lightened up.

Her eyes are not as deep set now, but 
still retain a lot of 
detail which will 
make her easy 
to paint

If you look at the
photo above
you can see the
huge difference.
Both looks were
nice, but this one
is more what I was
going for.

Mark areas for 
ear placement.

Tiny flattened
ovals of clay are
attached to each
side of head.

Check to see that
the placement
is even.

Start to add
the detail to 
each ear.

Be sure they
don't stick out
too far.
