NOTES

This is the first in the series of "Polymer People". You will learn how to create the adult human head in polymer clay. If you combine the three books in this series, you will create a complete sculpture of the human body. I love the human form. There is so much about it that intrigues me. But when I went looking for a book on how to sculpt it in polymer clay, I had very few options. Those that I found were showing how to do character-type creations. I wanted something grounded in traditional fine art techniques. Things they would teach you in a life sculpting class if you were to use only polymer clay and not earthen clay. You will discover: - Recommended tools and clays by the author- How to mix skin tones- Examples and demonstrations showing a portion of the human head, including teeth and realistic eyes- I show two methods of sculpting the overall head, so you can find the method that works best for you.- And much more!Tools- Sculpting Tools / Using Your Tools / Reference Photos / Work Surface- Proportions / Color / Conditioning / Curing / Glues- Core / Basic ShapeMethod One- Ear / Nose / Mouth / EyeFinishing touches- Smoothing / Blemishes / Hair / Painting / Signing- Making Eyes / Eye Color / Inserting Eyes- Making Teeth / Setting teeth / TongueReference- Common Errors / Trouble Shooting / Polymer Clay Comparison / Sources
