Later that day Ben showed us the making of puppets for the "Coraline" animation. The amounts of replacement faces are stunnig. Adults can really bring puppets to live! I was so impressed with the movie, that I've chosen a small girl design for the sculpting process.
For my reference I've looked at fary tails with small, adorable girls. No, I'm not a maniac!!! I came across this animation by accident, it's called "Masha and the Bear" - nostalgic.
Continuing with the fairy tails: "Alice in Wonderland" and "Red Riding Hood" illiustrations.
Process:
Equipment:
Modelling Clay (air dry)
Stick
Ball
Crafting tools
Sponge (to keep the clay wet)
Sanding paper.
Next step was applying modelling clay on the ball. This way the sculpt will much lighter, all heads will be the same size and save up a lot of time.
After I started building up the facial features of my character. But I left the mouth for last.
Time to make her look like a girl! I've been changing her hair design loads of times.
In the end I've decided to cover the rest of the head with a hood. But still she was missing something - ears. It still needs time to dry, after that I'm going to use sanding paper to make the surface even and smooth.
Sculpted Replacement Heads:
Okey, my first plasticine head attempt. Looks weird. I should have tried different beeds for the eyes.
Moving on to actual sculpts. This was the first modeling clay head. It was kind of straight forward attempt.
Second sculpt. I wanted her to look rather evil, she turned out to be grinning. Children usually look harmless, but they are little devils.

The last one. Probably the least favourite as in the photos as in life. The expression I wanted her to show - sadness. When I started applying hair the expression faded and she ended up looking intimidated.
