Side view of 
her right ear.
Still very rough
and chunky.

Now you can see
the daintier
shape of the ear.

Be sure to have
the lob  join at the
side of the head.

She is getting nice 
ear lobs. Care must 
be taken not to go 
too deep or under 
cuts will occur.

The bottom of
the ear sits
nicely above her
jaw line. 

Notice how the
top of the ear is
aligned with her
eye, while the 
bottom is aligned
with her mouth.

Here is Melissa!
She is 
ready to be
baked!
She should be 
carefully checked
at every angle.

She has now
been baked
in a low 
heat oven

The clay looks
duller, less
translucent.
The edges are
harder.

I think she has a
very nice profile.

Good lines,
nice jaw, ears, etc.

Now, we will
look at her from 
all angles to see
if she has a bit
of symmetry.
No one is perfect!

Keep rotating the 
sculpture as you
look down the top
of her head

Now rotate her
so you are looking 
up from under 
her chin

Keep rotating her.
Her lips, nose eyes should line up.

Rotate still further.

Rotate a little 
more to check 
her cheeks.

Eye placement
and depth are 
okay.  
Could use a little
work.

Ears are still
a bit rough, but
this sculpture
is too big
for 1/12th scale.

A waste mold
will be made.
She will be refined
and shrunken
down to size.

Thank you so much for joining me.

Check back for a different sculpting tutorial which will be available on CD
with larger photos and photos showing how to use the tools.
