Sculpting | Weeks 1 and 2

For week One's sculpting class the goal was to create a solid base to sculpt the bust on. This was created using wire, tinfoil and milliput on a wooden board. The wire was twisted together and bent over itself to form the stand. It was then covered in tinfoil near the bottom so it would stay wedged into the metal tube holding it. The top was also covered in tinfoil to create a middle for the clay to then be wrapped around. This prevents the use of too much clay as well as creating something more solid to work onto. The milliput was used around the place the metal tubing met the wire as an added way of keeping the wire still. The characters eyes were also created using milliput.



The character I have chosen to model is Hanzo from Overwatch. I began to model him by creating a lump of clay that was about equal to the size his head needed to be. This allowed me to then place his features according to his head size.


I created the structure of his Jaw so that I could then have a point of reference for the rest of his features. The next addition was to bulk up his neck and have it so that the connection was behind the jaw and ear. The brow was the next thing I looked at, this was done by slowly adding small pieces of clay to the brow and smoothing them in until the brow protruded more to where it needed to be.
