http://www.norajean.com/Biz-Archive/LEXX-Home/Kai-Iterations-thm.htm The trick is this: With a ball of clay in your hand and a clay shaper tool in the other, capture a part of the face and when part of it is right on target, stop. Cure what you have that's right. Make a mold of that right bit you captured. Cure the partial face mold. Make an impression of raw clay and start working on another part of the face. That way if you wreck the part you got right, you can make another impression of it and begin to work on another part of the face again. There is nothing more frustrating than getting part of the face right and then when working on another part of the face you wreck the good stuff you had. Curing and making a mold of the good bits, and do that in stages, makes sculpting a known face easier. Use left over polymer clay for your "Iteration" molds, because you're not going to keep them around, they are part of the process to be discarded as you progress.
04-20-08 Face Molds The process is to take a sculpted face, make a mold, and adjust the impressions to get many faces out of one face mold. If you need a lot of different faces it's not necessary to sculpt each one individually. Sculpt a few. Make molds of those. Then make multiple impressions of each mold and adjust. You can make them older, different ethnicities, smaller, etc. Each of the altered impressions can be made into molds and then new impressions made and more adjustments can be made.
