The sculpting stages:

The face is the most significant part of the figurine, because it is seen first by most viewers. Therefore, you must take time and care to sculpt it.

On a toothpick, I coarsely model the shape of the face with a needle. This stage is significant, because if this basic shape has anatomical errors, they will be seen on the finished face. (Before you start on faces, it is a good idea to look at books on "how to draw". These will give useful tips on common proportions and characteristics, to help produce a convincing and attractive finished product). I let the face dry.

Note: I always sculpt the faces on a toothpick, because this method makes it possible to reach all areas of the face. In general, when I have a little left over duro, I make small balls that I put on toothpicks. This provides a more solid base to work on.

I sculpt the face by adding small pieces of duro to strategic places, like the cheeks, the eyebrows, the jaw, the eyes and below the nose. I also apply the ears and the hair (I generally let the head dry before adding the hair, but as it is a short cropped style in this case, I made an exception).
