      Head: WTH have you made me into?
       
    3. anwyayz.. since i don't use this post..

      um.. can u guys giv me advice on how to make it even better?
       
    4. lol~ dont be too hard on yourself. Thats already alot better than what i can do (im too afraid to even try XD)

      the best thing to do would be to study the shape of a head. Right now your sculpt looks really round, and lacks alot of definition.

      I read in your sig that you bought Ani. A good idea would be (when she arrives) to base your sculpt off of her own~ it will be good practice not only in making a head, but it will be easier to paint on something "cloned" from the original~
       
    5. I think the head is a little too round... but then the Leeke dolls heads are reaaaally round too. I learned to sculpt by reading this book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/08...ref=sr_1_1/102-2151921-6227306?_encoding=UTF8 It's really really helpful, I've been following this artist's work since she first started publishing her sculpey face molds and instructions. :3 She has some super easy breakdowns of how to sculpt things and how to check for problems AND how to fix them when they occur!


      also... I never ever make the ears on the first sculpt. X3 I wait till I get the rest of the face done because they're so easy to break off! My first guy tho... he never got ears either. ._.;;; I failed with him! XD
