added comment inLife Size Mouth Demo
Okay here is my first attempt at a life size mouth study. It looks like I gave my sculpt a little bit of an overbite (will need orthodontia). This is not a self portrait...I have an old wrinkly mouth with lots of creases and will be a challenge to sculpt, ha! Anyway Andrew would you please give this one a critique. Thank you.

This is looking great especially from the side view. I might try taking some time to soften the transitions a bit more and round things off. Think of the forms around the mouth and chin as soft pillows that blend into one another a bit more. This should help it feel more lifelike. Keep up the great work!
Hello Andrew. Here are two nose studies I just finished. The small one is a female nose done with Chavant medium clay. The second is a larger than life study of a male nose. For this one I used a water based clay for the first time. I used it because you suggested using a softer clay for large projects. I used WED EM-217 clay. I think I still like the Chavant medium the most. Please critique my sculpture studies. Thank you.

Hey looking good! I especially like the gray study. The only thing that stands out is the shape of the nose from below, you might double check to make sure the nostrils and nasal septum are the correct shape from below. Other than that these are great studies and I can see you're getting better!

Andrew here is my attempt at the "twice as big eye study" assignment. I used Chavant NSP medium clay. I used my own eye as a reference. I'm including a few photos with different lighting approaches. The photo of my own eye is lit from a low angle so the sculpt photos will be highlighted differently. Please critique. Thank you.

Hey looking a lot better! It's great to see that you're observing the forms around the eye. If I was going to suggest one thing it might be to soften the transitions between forms. even the areas of the wrinkles around the eyes appear softer in the reference than in the sculpt. The softness will help it feel more realistic. Keep up the great work!

Okay Andrew here is my first attempt at sculpting an eye for the first "Sculpt an Eye" assignment. Trying to get the depth of the eye socket and many subtle plane changes around the eye is very tricky. I didn't use my own old eyes as a reference this time but will do so on the next eye assignment. My eyes have lots of wrinkles and saggy bags so it will be a challenge. Please critique and give me your feedback. Thank you.

Hey looking good. Observing the eye from the side view and making sure it looks right from the side can help you get those depths a little better. Also remember that as the eye transitions from the inside part to the outside corner of the eye it also moves back in space. The next video "What to look for when sculpting the eye" might be helpful to watch again if you're struggling. Great job and keep it up!

Hey nicely done on this one! If I was going to give a critique I would say that the angle of the jaw looks to be a bit too close to 90 degrees, (a more obtuse angle of the jaw should look more natural) the mound of the mouth from the front view loos to be too wide so thinning that from side to side might help. From above it looks great. Keep It up it looks like you've been learning a lot!
