Make figurine hair video tutorial

As a promise for some friends here, I made a simple 10 minutes video tutorial (the actual sculpting time took about 40 minutes), making figurine hair. So you'll have the idea of how things come out step by step. I use my wooden tools as usual, you may use any kind of tools as long as the result is good. The face/head I made just for an example, I'm not going to do anything with the face so I leave it unfinished like that. Just focus on making hairs. I didn't look on any drawings or pictures when sculpt this figurine, just float with the clay, follow how it goes. You can look at your reference or designs if any. 

No matter how you do it, Keep these key points in mind: 

*Always start from big portion of hairs first, don't just go right to the detail hair lines. When you are done and happy with big portion of hairs, go making the lines, make it like when you are practicing the drawing.

But before marking detail hair lines, use nail polish remover and nylon brush to brush the surface, nail polish remover volatilizes fast, so I usually put it in a small container with cover. Thus would smooth out the surface, and harden the surface a bit. You are actually rinse the brush, not just paint the liquid on. So make sure the brush is rinsed each time without the clay scrap. Get fresh liquid when it gets too messy

* Make more definition before drawing fine hair lines. Make more lines and details in deeper areas. Less lines on raised hairs which will make it look shiny in layers.

*Don't draw the lines all the way down. It will end up like yarns or brushes. You may use the knife to cut open some outstretched hairs. Fix a little bit the sharp edges with your fingers or tools.  

 *As you can see, I use wooden tools for hair in angle, that would make better lines without going back and forth to fix it because some tools you use maybe too sharp for it. "Important point: don't make the hairs in crossing lines." Even they look across but they don't in reality. Hairs are in layers, well, usually...

 

When you use nail polish remover or denatured alcohol to smooth it out before finished, don't put too much! Do some test on small piece of clay before you buy it and apply it to your sculptures! Touch up with the hair lines again if necessary, you may refer to my tools tutorial No.18, 19 and 21 at

Hope this may help you a little. Please advise if you have any suggestion or question. Thank you for watching my tutorial! Enjoy!!

Great tutorial, very useful.
I have a question: how many times you can bake these same figure by adding to it new elements?

Thanks a lot! So glad it may help!
You can put the same figurine in and out of the oven more than 10, 20 times, as you keep adding or fixing it.

But you need to lower down baking temperature at lease "10 degrees less" that shown on the box instruction, and "10~15 mins each baking time", or it may turn dark or burn, especially thin or pointed areas. 

Cover the "baked" thin or pointed areas with aluminum foil when it gets in the oven each time. Only expose unbaked clay in the oven.

Yes it works! A super helpful video! It's always really nice to see the process 'live' rather than still photos. Thank you so much for sharing

Thanks a lot! The sculpting process took 40 minutes, I bet no one would like to watch it for that long, so I trimmed it to 10 minutes. Hope still worked!

SagaWolf In reply to sculptor101 [2015-10-10 14:33:09 +0000 UTC]

All of your tutorial material is extremely helpful and although I personally would love to watch the full 40 minutes process, I can understand that trimming is needed, heh! Will you do more video material in the future?
