My first project in Sculpting Lifeforms class is sculpting Popeye based off turnaround and character model sheets. We used a translucent, black and white polymer clay and mixed them all together to get a gray color. The process is pretty interesting.
First, I constructed an armature using 1/8" aluminum wire, 24 gauge steel wire, foil and epoxy putty to reinforce the joints.
Clay is added after attaching the armature to a wooden base.
Details were sculpted using dental tools sold at the swap meet at $2 a piece. Sketchy.
Details completed before raking, finishing and baking.
