portrait sculpt work in progress
I’m so excited to share my very first portrait sculpt! It’s much more difficult than it looks that’s for sure!!
Here’s the little baby I found on google:
And here’s my little sculpt. 🙂
What do you think? Does it look alike? Keep in mind this little one is still unpainted and unsanded. Still has limbs to go!
I’m off to sculpt some chubby arms and legs!
sculpting light catching eyes tutorial
Found this gem of a tutorial on yesterday. I thought I would share since glass eyes are SO expensive especially when some of us need every dolly dollar! 🙂
little bean going home
To his mommy Jill in Illinois. 🙂
Isn’t he cute though? I think I love him.
In case you were keeping count, he is my sculpt numero 7. I think I am growing sculpting wise. At least I hope it shows.
I’m currently working on a portrait sculpt. So far- not so good. We’ll see how it goes before I squish it. hah. Wish me luck!!
little bean in progress
this little bean looks to me to be another little boy. 🙂
You have no idea how difficult it is for me to sculpt a little girl. I think as sculptors we tend to sculpt faces that look similar to our own, or our children- and since I only have boys, that’s what comes out of the clay!!
I was THIS close to squishing this little guy. I’m glad I didn’t though, he is quite a cutie!
Keep in mind this is a just finished clay baby. He still needs ears, limbs and paint!
WIP and mini tools
I have been sculpting this little one:
I can’t tell if it’s a boy or girl at the moment. I have to knit a little outfit and sew another one for him/her. Which by the way I am horrible at. Sewing is not my strong suit most definitely. 🙂 One day I will conquer this sewing machine if it’s the last thing I do!
As for my sculpting, I have been working on a mini tutorial on sculpting fingers. I’m going to be posting it up on youtube for anyone who is learning how to sculpt.
The tools I am using are from AMCreatures on Etsy. He has graciously given us a discount code for 25% off of his tools with coupon code TOOLSONLY25. This is the set I bought:
You can buy the tools here:

I am using them specifically for the tinier babies as well as fingers and toes. They are amazing!!
I am saving up for a set of the super tiny ones for super miniature babies. 🙂
I’ll let you all know when the video is up on youtube for you all to watch.
