How to make a head with a cast: (Part One).
I have already told how make a head for a puppet or puppet , shaping up a base on a wooden or cork ball, but otherwise I have not yet mentioned: make a plaster cast.
work is quite laborious and somewhat cumbersome, but has the advantage that we can repeat the head as many times as we wish. And exposure is extensive, I have to do in several entries.
First, we must make a stand to allow modeling in comfort, is simply a round wooden stick inserted upright in a block of wood as a support. As you can see the first images.
Once you have prepared, we are ready to start modeling. Although I also recommend to have on hand one or two sticks to model and of course the material with which we work. I have always used clay , but some people prefer the clay.
-Modeling:
1. Placed in the top of the stick, a piece of clay or dough in the shape of an egg and head size we want to develop.
2. We started using the thumbs, pressing to make the eye sockets.
3. Then we will add the necessary parts to make the nose, chin, neck, eyebrows, etc..
4. We define the lips, eyes, and the exact shape of the head.
's not often make the ears, as if you wear your hair or hat would be covered, unless it is necessary for characterization.
head -Preparing for the mold:
1. We cover the entire head with a thin layer of Vaseline.
2. We will have at hand and the plaster, a plastic container with cold water and a cardboard box slightly larger than the head that we modeled.
3. Draw a line dividing the head in half: front and rear.
Later, we will begin with the preparation of the plaster and the different ways there are to make molds.
