SD head male (first try)

So I've started making a BJD head, It's my first time trying to sculpt a bjd so help is very much appreciated
I've already worked on him for a couple of weeks, but I thought I'd still post all the progress pics from the beginning to where I am now.

So this is how I started, it was the first day I worked on him~




Second day~



Third day~

Third day from the side~
His ear is completely in the wrong place xD



Fourth day~
I redid his eyes and moved his entire forehead forward a bit and also started working on his ears properly. At first I had planned to just do a random head to sort of learn the basics of sculpting, but it was a lot more fun to do this guy. I've had him planned for ages but I've been afraid it would be to hard ^w^'



Here is my original sketch of him. Now after I've started it doesn't feel as impossible as it did when i started xD

So now it is up to date!
I am currently working on getting his eyes symmetrical and fixing his lower lip. I also need to do more details on the ears.

And sorry for all the crappy mobile photos! I will take better photos from more angles next week~



Comments and critique is very welcome

 

greymalkin: Hi! Sorry for being so slow answering your PM ^^' I'll answer here to if anyone else wonders. I use ceramic stone-clay, do not recommend it for sculpting small things, it's very grainy ~ And thanks again for the kind words

 

So I've been working non stop on my head this week and he is almost done I just need to find some tiny tool to fix his mouth and eyelids. I am going to cast him in a different material before the end of the week so I can start working on the surface texture and some small details + sanding and priming.




Here is the head on a body, I am so excited! I also tried drawing in his eyebrows with a marker...not really a great idea but it was fun to see what he might look like with a face~



His ears also needs a bit more work...
