Sculpting a Simplified Head Step by Step

It’s time to simplify our portrait sculpts! In this lesson you’ll learn how to sculpt the head as an abstraction with an extra layer of complexity and form. We’ll start by taking a block-in of the head and carefully add and define the secondary forms using a variety of techniques that you can use in your own work.

Hi there. Inspirational video! I am about to order some clay. It comes in 1 kilo blocks. How many kilos should I order to make a sculpture similar to yours? Many thanks!

I think larger is much easier, just more work on the front end. Sculpting small is hard.

Step 1: get a newspaper (or any other paper) and rap it into a ball shape, after that's done, get another paper and rap the first ball to make a popsicle like shape.



Step 2: get some clay and Rap it across the paper (except for the neck part) then get some tape and tape the neck part




Step 3: take a knife and add a line in the middle of the head to maintain symmetry and add the nose and eye sockets





Tips:
Tip 1:Use thumbs (or pinkie depending on the size of the sculptere) To make the eye sockets
Tip 2: take your thumb or pinkie and flatten the side of the eyes
Tip 3: Make the cranium bigger than the face

Plane the simplest way not simple at all its a pain in the ass❤️ at least for 2d art I've found it still quite hard
