Sehnsucht Makery - Blog Posts

I’m so sorry for the lack of updates 😣 my son recently gave up nap time and then he came down with a cold so he hasn’t been sleeping well at night either. Progress is going at a crawling pace but slow and steady wins the race 😊

I've just been covering the armature slowly while working on her head, when time allows.

Made her armature last night! Still have lots of work left on the head, I just was itching to mess around with this part. It's made of tin foil and bits of Styrofoam wrapped in floral tape. If she looks short it's because this doesn't account for her feet, which I will sculpt separate, same for hands. She looks so silly this way 😂

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.

Some quick work on the mouth :)

Worked on her lips tonight. The bottom lip needs more work but I have to let it dry for a bit before continuing.

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.

I really began to like her features here but so much was off center, I had no choice but to shave parts down. By the way, I don't have sandpaper, so all sanding and shaving is done with a blade, haha. I do plan to get some eventually.
