Practising faces (2)

After my little tribal girl I wanted to practise emotions and an older face.

 Another little buste (this head is a little larger then my tribal girl, would probably make an 18" doll).

And she is so sad!

Practising faces (1)

O.k. I figured my faces needed a little more practise (and I fancied a small project that I could finish in a weekend!). I've been watching dvd's by Philippe Faraut and was so impressed that I got his books.
He's a serious clay sculptor, but when it comes down to it the technique's are not all that different from sculpting in wool. So my first practise piece a buste of a little tribal girl.

Now, the pictures aren't great. Need to figure out how to photograph the darker skin. But it's been a long time since I made a doll with teeth and ears, lol.
