My first skull and in fact my first sculpture of any worth, was a daunting challenge indeed. I put in long hours over days of distractions and kept coming back again and again. I have a life-size skull I bought to model with and this is kind of a hybrid of your and my thick skull. I’m having to call, “Hold” and move on to the next lessons. I will come back to this one for many weeks. It’s been fascinating and obsessive. Will start over on the mouth. I’m still exploring texture. Right now I’m kinda thumb finish, except for my fat fingers wont reach. Which lesson speaks the most to the Mouth Mound basics? Where can I get simple information for mould making and casting?

Re feedback on amount of information, I thought it was a good length and pace. Was able to sculpt alongside the demo without missing stuff or having to pause, etc.

How do you soften your clay and how to you mix hardness?

Any corrections at this point?

You might double check the side view silhouette. it looks like it might need for the chin to be brought down a bit and the forehead might need to be a little higher as well. remember the eyes are about in the center of the head when looking at someone straight on. Keep going! good job!

It took me over 7 hours to finish this head. I call it the, Case of the ever-expanding head. It was like whack amole Again sizing has been the issue in my learning. The top of the head the back of the head the fore head were difficult to nail down.Learning about planes and dynamic planeshas been very enlightening. In painting you don't have the 3 dimensional thus in sculpture symmetry becomes uber important. But more important is how factional a change can fix a problem. Having been use to portraiture, I’ve come to love the identity of the subject... This lesson has been generic man whose final dimensions are arbitrary to a point. ? How do you keep tools from clogging?
