I did this by flattening a piece of clay then hollowing it out in a spherical form, I then finished it off by smoothing out the rough edges.]]> 2021-03-25 20:12:59 UTC https://padlet.com/liamkidneigh/KidneighLiam/wish/1354861042 liamkidneigh https://padlet.com/liamkidneigh/KidneighLiam/wish/1354875178 I had made a mistake on my head sculpture by adding too much water, therefore, making it rip in half. leading to me being behind on this project, after remaking a new one. I then started with the wolf's snout/nose. to do this I first had to grab a piece of clay, roll it into a ball. slap it into a cone like shape, and finally flatten the top of the cone.]]> 2021-03-25 20:17:13 UTC https://padlet.com/liamkidneigh/KidneighLiam/wish/1354875178 liamkidneigh https://padlet.com/liamkidneigh/KidneighLiam/wish/1354914237 After I cleaned up the cracks and edges of the nose I quickly hollowed out the nose leaving an empty, fragile, cone piece. After that I then had to glue the head to the nose using the slip and score method once again.]]> 2021-03-25 20:28:57 UTC https://padlet.com/liamkidneigh/KidneighLiam/wish/1354914237 liamkidneigh https://padlet.com/liamkidneigh/KidneighLiam/wish/1354924670 I then started hollowing out the eye sockets of where the eyes would be. and started adding extra layers to cover up the holes and add extra detail.]]> 2021-03-25 20:32:29 UTC https://padlet.com/liamkidneigh/KidneighLiam/wish/1354924670 liamkidneigh https://padlet.com/liamkidneigh/KidneighLiam/wish/1389180800 To do this, I had to level out the surface of the face and head while also being careful not to break the head, since another crack was still on the structural part of the hollowed out face.  ]]> 2021-04-06 21:43:08 UTC https://padlet.com/liamkidneigh/KidneighLiam/wish/1389180800 liamkidneigh https://padlet.com/liamkidneigh/KidneighLiam/wish/1389187586 After I finished making the eyes and putting them in, next came the ears. I had made the ears previously, however, after some advice on what the shape of the ear should look like I completely restarted the making of them. then I applied them them to the face with the slip and score method once again. ]]> 2021-04-06 21:46:44 UTC https://padlet.com/liamkidneigh/KidneighLiam/wish/1389187586 liamkidneigh https://padlet.com/liamkidneigh/KidneighLiam/wish/1389189469 To do this I took a tooth brush and brushed out the snout/nose area, and for the rest of the face I took the small/slim tool rod and carved S like shapes to try to create hair.]]> 2021-04-06 21:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/liamkidneigh/KidneighLiam/wish/1389189469 liamkidneigh https://padlet.com/liamkidneigh/KidneighLiam/wish/1396846705 This is my final picture for this project. I wish I could do more, however, I'm still really proud of how this model turned out. I seriously didn't think I could create this wolf head.]]> 2021-04-08 17:03:16 UTC https://padlet.com/liamkidneigh/KidneighLiam/wish/1396846705 liamkidneigh https://padlet.com/liamkidneigh/KidneighLiam/wish/1396851155 Here are some of the main references I used to try to recreate the wolf head sculpture.]]> 2021-04-08 17:04:10 UTC https://padlet.com/liamkidneigh/KidneighLiam/wish/1396851155
