Sculpting Aid
Philippe Faraut is an amazing sculptor and has even sculpted dolls before for the home porcelain doll industry. He has some great dvds, books, and sculpting aids. I have this one and it is a huge help. It has children's features in a step-by-step progression. I'm about to use it to make EARS. I am not an ear fan.

Ah yes, ears. I couldn't do them at all, and made everything into fairies, just so I could give them pointy fairy ears and not fiddly human ones. Hubby found me a sculpting book that broke the process down into a series of curves and it became more manageable after that.
ReplyDeleteWhat book is it? Maybe it's one of those I bought and never looked at, lol. I have a book purchasing problem! Heck, I have a purchasing problem!
DeleteOk, the book is 'Creating Lifelike Figures in Polymer Clay: Tools and Techniques for Sculpting Realistic Figures' It's by Katherine Dewey. She's got a very specific step by step technique, which would suit the methodical,(I'm not at all methodical) all well illustrated with drawings and photos.There's a chapter on making tools, too and a lot of anatomy stuff. Some stuff isn't relevant to doll making, she's a sculptor, rather than a doll maker, but the basic modelling stuff I found very helpful.
DeleteThank you! I am totally going to get that book when we get paid on Saturday!
