Sculpting How to sculpt the mouth?

I found a whole bunch of tutorials when I was learning how to sculpt. Here's one that should be just what you need.

Hope it helps.

 

that's a great tutorial; and a great site as well.
any more?

 

oh great..i need to know too..ToT i was cursing and swearing when i sculpt the mouth part..lols

 

Just posted this in another topic too, hope it helps you all out.

 

This rocks. I've got a different system for the bottom lip, but the top lip is excellent! Thank you for posting this!

 

this is cool! 8D but its diff to sculpt on a tiny head.. or maybe it's just i'm too lousy..XD

 

Probably not lousy, but out of practice. It takes a lot of work and small manipulation of the mouth to get it just right. Keep at it! This tutorial is the best!

 

You should post a tutorial on how to get your fingers under the nose to smooth out the mouth or even a nose tutorial! Totally useful!

 

Claudine, do you have a collection of these photos somewhere (I just saw the one on ears)? It is extremely helpful.

 

I wrote a book on sculpting a doll, it has lots of step by step pictures. It's a doll with a fabric body, but the sculpting of the head, hands and feet is very detailed. But, it's only available in Dutch... sorry....

 

Does it have pictures? Like the ones you've been sharing? Can I buy it in the US? I'm very excited about this!

 

I want to see what your dolls will be when you bring them out of your head..

 

Taylor of Gene Land?

Hey Fairy! I've seen your tutorial and your dolls before! Wonderful!

 

Oh this thread is great. I've been having the worst time with my girl's lips. I'll try these out. Thanks~

 

I was thinking that I would make a step-by-step plaque just like Claudine's to practice while I'm waiting for my Yoshida style book.

Noses! If we could see noses and eyes, we would have the whole face!

Although, I have to say that I bought Claudine's book and it's really good at showing you how to do the whole face, which is useful even if I can't read Dutch, lol.

 

If you go to this site you can see noses and eyes.

Just a quick warning re the sculpting - never, ever put styrofoam in the oven. It gives off very toxic fumes.

 

While this is true for most types of styrofoam, I've come across a few sites which say you can use ... polystyrene ... I think, in the oven with no ill effects. I think it's the same type that styrofoam coffee cups are made out of.
