Head Sculpt

A 1:1 scale clay head sculpt of a classmate, sculpted from life using professional sculpting techniques.

This sculpt was made over two weeks at the end of first year. A professional sculptor tutored us in how to accurately sculpt a portrait using callipers and observation.

The head was sculpted over a wooden armature, from the initial massing out of the rough shape of the face, to adding the eyes, ears, hair and other fine details.
