Your assignment is to sculpt a simplified skull. It doesn’t have to be done exactly the same and Andrew’s but it should be the right proportions and have an indication of the bony features covered in the video.
Some student work will be featured in critique videos so if you want your work featured, be sure to do the assignment and submit it.
It looks like the bottom of the jaw might also need to be angled more. The angle of the jaw looks to be too close to 90 degrees. In the latest video on 10 anatomical features of the skull for artists there’s some visuals that might help. Doing great! Keep it up!
I thought I would try carving a skull rather using clay for this assignment. I found it quite a bit more difficult to sculpt using ONLY a subtractive process, rather than being able to add and subtract, correcting my mistakes. I laminated pieces of plywood and used their vertical orientation to help me maintain the bilateral symmetry of the skull. My piece is not as abstract as you suggested in the assignment, but I really enjoyed this exercise.
nice! subtractive is definitely more difficult. I'll probably do a course on subtractive sculpture eventually. I would try to focus more on the primary form of the mound of the mouth and I would align a reference photo with the side profile of the sculpture. it looks like some other features might be a bit off like the back bottom plane of the skull. Keep it up! very cool take on the assignment!
I'm neither beginner nor expert. I'm here to get better along with lessons.
When I finished sculpting my models something seems off. Hardest part is, I don't even know what's wrong. Help me to find the odds (including this model and upcoming ones) and make me grow like you. I will try to keep up with the upcoming lessons. Thank you Andrew.
hey looking good! the mound of the mouth might be a bit large compared to the other features. the chin might have the same issue of being a bit large. but other than those minor issues it's looking awesome! keep it up!
