Burrows & Badgers - getting back to sculpting!
On with his head!
Next, I sculpted the badger’s head. I took the cured head armature, and added a couple of blobs of fresh putty for the eyes. Then I added two more blobs to form the cheeks; and a thin layer over the top of the head. Next I added some larger bits of putty to the back lower quarters of the head, to form the bulk of the jaw. I blended this all together using the Clay Shaper.
Then, using the sharp edge of my Wax 5, I cut in a line for his mouth, and marked in the shape of his eyes, pushing the putty up and down to form the eyelids. I used the Clay Shaper to smooth and refine the eye area, then added a couple of lumps of putty for ears, and a little more bulk to the back of the jaw area. I continued to tidy and refine the head, and added a tiny bit of putty for the nose.
Next, I used the blunt end of the Wax 5 to pull the putty downwards to rough in the fur, the used the sharp end to refine each section of fur to add definition.
