I always loved redheads. Now my feeling changed slightly.
very intresting. we just had molding and casting in lessons. I would start right now if the materials wouldnยดt be so expensive.
very good work, sir. Iยดm looking up to you

this walkthrough is fantastic! i'v been wanting to do this for so long but the confidence just hasnt been there but this makes me want to give it a shot.
i was wondering, inside the clay head, do you build it over some sort of armature and if you do, what is it made out of?
also how lond did the head take you to sculpt?

You are an absolute treasure-trove of knowledge.. I am so glad I ran across you and started watching! I am a little more interested in trying solid casts with rubbery molds than vice-versa, but this tute provides vast amounts of insight either way.. like prying-points! I catch myself thinking 'OMG I would have never thought of these little tips unless I had seen the pros do it first.' And this particular tute is gonna come in perfectly handy if I ever try one particular latex mold project I'm fond of.
If I had a question for you I guess I wanna ask what modelling clays you like best. I am used to being able to fixate ideas in sculpey, but I am also coming around to modelling clay just to hash out forms (I can't believe the lovely finished products you make in plastalina, it seems so impermanent to me).. I just plain hate starting up from armatures, I wanna mush the whole composition together at once with all its basic proportions and action lines intact, so I'd really like a firm modelling substance that can take that sort of abuse.. I am considering buying several pounds of 'Medium' castilene, since I have a heat gun and can either mash it or carve it, sounds like. But if you have a better recommendation that would be great.

I have never used castilene...it sounds like a lot of work to me - but if you do not want to make an armature that might be the way to go. Google Chavant clays - comes in many different grades and colors. The very firm grades is what they sculpt real cars out of. Most of the people I have worked with use this product for detailed sculpting. Thanks so much for writing such a great comment...this means a lot to me!

Thanks so much for doing this Evan! I dread moulding and casting stuff, never really learnt how to do it properly. So to see you go through it step by step is incredibly useful.
I've tried glueing hair on a model a couple of times and it was always a complete disaster. Never thought of using latex as an adhesive. Will have to give that a try next time.
...that is one of the cleanest plaster moulds I've ever seen...

Thanks so much Jamie...it is nice to see a good response on this.
As far as the hair, latex can still take some time to dry - contact cement works really fast.

Really great work, I lvoe seeing you build this piece up as well as explain the stages and techiniques used (such as going from light to dark first).

yeah the process seems long and difficult which can be learned with time but the artistic talent, I don't know I feel like some people just have the instinct to create awesome things such as yourself

Hideous. And the mask is pretty ugly, too *wink*
Great tutorial, very interesting work.

Very excellent tutorial! Very good message at the end too. I agree with that. It's a profound thought that in that sacrifice of self comes an understanding of life that cant be found otherwise.

๐: 0 โฉ: 1
is it a wood burner or a sodering iron?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Not a sodering iron - it was either a candle melting tool or a wood burner.

wow so amazing all the processes you go through to complete one of these masks. And in the end so worth it. Thank you for the good read! Nice to see you in the mix of it all too. Oh and as a safety coordinator in my office it is good to read your safety warning! Good job!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
It is complicated and this is one of the most basic things to show. Movie type procedures would take to long to really explain in this kind of format. This is more your typical Halloween fun.
Safety is very important for the long term - so you can continue working around these types of products and be healthy.

you're welcome, Evan!

Wow, that is pretty laborious. Worth it though

It is...but I like building stuff so it is all fun to me! Thank you!
