cornbread Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 2nd attempt, made him wider. Texas size belt buckle. Do I need to make his beard fuller on the profile?? 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingo Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Do I need to make his beard fuller on the profile?? I think so, yes. Most of the beards I've seen (even sparse ones) seem to leap out fron the skin on side view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky Dog Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 My instinct is to make him a bigger nose to give an impression of more volume. Right now, the nose is too flush with the beard/face and looks as if his face has been punched in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffWoodall Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I would agree with making the nose a bit bigger and adding more to the beard. Take a look at profile picture of some one with a long beard and you will notice how the curves in the face shape the beard. That being said this is a great looking piece.

Hellbeard Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Looks pretty good. Here is tips: As you work consider the stages of curing to influence the putty in different ways. You must use very light touches to coax the putty into shape and move from general shape to specifics. For example, after about 30-45 minutes you can use a fine tool to indent texture into the beard hairs which will deform the shapes less if you indent it earlier in the curing process. That works pretty good for doing folds and stuff- you can smooth out the "fabric" and rougher shapes and then later push in and smooth the folds. It's helpful to start with an armature with some shapes in the under-sculpture to help have some form to work against as you're sculpting the outer layer. hth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
