Sculpting a Simplified Head Step by Step
Premium Portrait Sculpting Course - proko.com/portraitsculpt
It’s time to simplify our portrait sculpts! In this lesson you’ll learn how to sculpt the head as an abstraction with an extra layer of complexity and form. We’ll start by taking a block-in of the head and carefully add and define the secondary forms using a variety of techniques that you can use in your own work.
ASSIGNMENT:
Sculpt one of these head abstractions focusing on secondary forms, without getting too detailed. You can submit your work by creating a free account at proko.com/portraitsculpt and posting a comment with images of your sculpture under the assignment video. Some student work may be featured in critique videos so if you want your work featured be sure to do the assignment and submit it.

Hey thanks! glad to hear it!
Step 1: get a newspaper (or any other paper) and rap it into a ball shape, after that's done, get another paper and rap the first ball to make a popsicle like shape. Step 2: get some clay and Rap it across the paper (except for the neck part) then get some tape and tape the neck part Step 3: take a knife and add a line in the middle of the head to maintain symmetry and add the nose and eye sockets Tips: Tip 1:Use thumbs (or pinkie depending on the size of the sculptere) To make the eye sockets Tip 2: take your thumb or pinkie and flatten the side of the eyes Tip 3: Make the cranium bigger than the face

I think larger is much easier, just more work on the front end. Sculpting small is hard.

yes making the planes is easier when it's larger but it does take longer to move around the clay on a larger sculpture so either way works.
👏👏👏👏👍👍👍wow
I really liked your content, too bad it doesn't have subtitles in Portuguese, Could you release the subtitles
It can be helpful for zbrush learning

Does this clay need a mold to caste? Does it dry or can I work with it for a week?
