Illustration of the tutorial on making heads with basic skills in making ultra-light clay figures

Since kindergarten, we have been exposed to using ultra-light clay to make handicrafts. The ultra-light clay handicrafts we made before were very simple, such as some small animals similar to stick figures. The works seem to everyone to be very good handmade DIY works for children, but as we grow older, we can use ultra-light clay to make some slightly more complicated handmade works. If you think you have a relatively good foundation in making ultra-light clay, you can use ultra-light clay to make characters. If you use ultra-light clay to make characters, a very important point is the production of the characters head. Here we will do it Lets see how to create a cartoon face.

Step 1:

After making the outline of the head with skin-colored ultra-light clay, you can prepare to use a pencil to add light strokes on it Draft

Step 2:

Start coloring with paint

Step 3:

The eyes are very Important

Step 4:

The eyes need to be drawn three-dimensionally and beautifully, so that they look watery

Step 5:

Darken the color of the upper part of the eyes

Step 6:

The color of the blush should be lighter

Step 7:

The whites of the eyes are painted

Because it is a cartoon image, after we shape the head, wait until the ultra-light clay dries, and then we can use acrylic to draw on it. When drawing, you still need to make it according to the modeling design of the ultra-light clay. Pay special attention to the colors to create a sense of perspective, so that the faces of the ultra-light clay cartoon characters we make will appear more three-dimensional.
