Now i just gotta make her a wig and some clothes...

Slight body horror warning

It’s been rough week

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 😂

Sorry for the lack of updates. Still busy with other projects and my crazy life! You probably can't see much change but I've worked on her symmetry and I've been working on her skull shape and size some more.

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.

Worked on her cheeks, chin and lower lip. Only had a little time tonight but I’m glad I made some progress. Slowly working toward symmetry :) Picture is a before (left) and after (right) of my progress.

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.

After many hours of fiddling around, she began to look more human and less alien.

My old camera was really messed up so I apologize for the quality of some of these photos. They improve with time as I eventually replaced my phone.

Here's where it all started. I made a general plan for the doll but had no idea how she would end up looking. I still don't! I am letting her work her way out of the paperclay :) I plan to have her final height be 25 cm. This is my first attempt at a few things: Sculpting a human figure Working with paper clay Making a doll

Should I paint his teeth? I like teeth on other people’s dolls, but I don’t know about my own.
