Making Scupture Need Help

[🪦 Last Man Standing ●]

OK so I have a face armature and I was thinking of making a face sculpture of roy from F13 5 but my question is do I make it like a mask scupt or do I have to make it from a piece of clay also can you paint clay with acryllic or is there a special paint for it . Thanks

LOLYou can use any water based or oil based clay over your armature and sculpt onto it, then take a plaster mold and cast it in latex.Or if you don't want to get too involved, you can use a polymer clay like SCULPEY and just sculpt your face, bake it and paint it with acrylics when it's done. You wouldn't use the armature for this method.Also depends on how you plan to use the final piece. Of course the baked clay would be rock hard and could be broken if dropped, but on the other hand if you cast it in latex, you may want to back it with foam otherwise it could be on the flimsy side. Unless you cast it REALLY thick.

I've only done a couple of things in regular Sculpey and then baked it, but if I remember right you set the oven to 275 and bake it 15 minutes per quarter inch thickness. Meaning if you sculpt is 2 inches thick, you'd bake it 2 hours. It should tell you on the package how long to bake it.
