Paperclay - Blog Posts

Sorry for the lack of updates. Still busy with other projects and my crazy life! You probably can't see much change but I've worked on her symmetry and I've been working on her skull shape and size some more.

Slowly but surely adding and taking away. Rinse and repeat. Working on the nose and brow ridge before reworking the mouth. Progress is slow while I work on a long-overdue commission for a friend.

Just a few more of her from different angles.

I shaved down the upper lip completely and plan to build it up again. Just fine tuning the facial symmetry. The eyes are off but only by 1 mm in certain parts. I will fix that!

Just trying to even things out. Make sure the eyes are at the same depth, checking nostrils and the way the philtrum and septum meet up. Her skull/forehead will obviously be larger, I'm just focusing on her face at the moment.

After many hours of fiddling around, she began to look more human and less alien.

My old camera was really messed up so I apologize for the quality of some of these photos. They improve with time as I eventually replaced my phone.

Here's where it all started. I made a general plan for the doll but had no idea how she would end up looking. I still don't! I am letting her work her way out of the paperclay :) I plan to have her final height be 25 cm. This is my first attempt at a few things: Sculpting a human figure Working with paper clay Making a doll
