Sculpting a Realistic HORSE HEAD!✨Chill Polymer CLAY Process to Creatively Recharge You

When I first began sculpting, I wanted to create realistic and detailed horses in clay so much, especially learning how to sculpt beautiful horse heads full of expression, and…I figured out how to do it! Now, I’d love to show you my step-by-step process as I sculpt this horse head in polymer clay, while sharing all my tips, materials and tools. This project is a 1/9 scale Marwari mare (a breed from India with uniquely curly ears) and is my first at this larger scale! I'm looking forward to sharing more of her sculpting progress in the future, so I hope you subscribe! And if you are already, thanks! You're the best!

✨IN THIS VIDEO I SHARE:
○ Starting with a supportive wire & foil armature for sculpting with clay
○ Adding the base layers of polymer clay & baking in layers
○ Blocking in muscles & general anatomy (plus horse anatomy tips)
○ Making adjustments & adding details like horse whisker bumps & horse veins
○ Sculpting horse eyes, ears, lips, nostrils, muzzle & more features of the head
○ Polymer clay sculpting tools I'm using
○ Using liquid polymer clay to adhere new layers of clay for a maximum bond
○ How I smooth the clay with my gloves & tools
