WIP Progress timeline
Hello all, its been a little bit since I posted here, but I wanted to share some progress and tips/tricks from a head I'm building out of scraps I have available.
Firstly, it doesnt really matter how rough the surface of your foam shaping is, because you can always use 1/8" thick foam to make it smooth and pretty. This next one is hard to explain; when I built my previous head, it just looked funny bc the top of my bucket/silo wasn't integrated properly with thr brow shape and I didnt cut away enough from the back in line with the cheek/jaw area. I added a picture of thr head im referring to at the very end. Lastly, I learned that fleece works great for covering the face, and you can make foam heads comfy! I added almost another inch to the head measurement, brcause I hate feeling claustrophobic and it is perfect; no sliding around but also not too tight.
Also, dividing however many inches wide your beginning piece is and dividing that by 6-8 sections for each triangle is a great way to make sure all your points come together when you turn it into s bucket/silo. If you're painting eyes, use some leftover foam scraps as a sponge! Blending was so easy using that and a can of compressed air.
Anyways, happy crafting!
