my 2nd sculpture ever in the amateur hour category is of Tina from the bobs burgers animated cartoon. Just trying to get the shape down before i bake and really sand her down. what do you guys think? glasses are just drawn paper.

if im able to refine this it will be the first thing i will try to mold. what do you fine folks think?

I love that show! The only show I watch the opening titles so I can see what business is next door.

I do not see any problems, but it is hard to tell without color. Should be good.

This is a really nice sculpt!
I think the crown of her head needs to be a bit bigger. Her cheeks need to go in a bit too.

I've seen people make nice glasses using printed plastic, kind of like the stuff that action figure bubbles are made of. There's a thread on the Mego Museum, I'll try and find it for you. I made a pair using Shrinky Dink stuff too.

I'm having a hard time finding a good Molding tool. I used instamold but its pretty terrible, can anyone recommend a mold to use on Super Sculpey?

I know smooth-on has some but not sure which works best to use on super sculpey

I have used brush latex and a plaster mother on sculpey before, it worked fine. It depends on what you are casting in.

I learned a lot about molding and sculpting and "pot" life of resin. uhhhhhhhhhh lol
