Hey guys.
ive beeen getting into mask sculpting and have prior (but minor) sculpting exprince. I find it fun to do in my free time and i thought, mine as well do a mask i like and if it comes out good ill make a mold. Only problem is Ive never done a mask. I have sculpted heads, but only around small bust size. I was wondering if you guys had some suggestions on materials. Money is short, but not a huge issue.
Im intrested in:
-Where to find a good armature for my masks. (id rather not make a life cast.)
-What clay do you guys use. I like the harder stuff personaly and im more exprinced in air dry clays but still have exprince in modeling clay.
-What mold materials do you use and can i get them localy or do i have to order online?
-What type of latex/ or resin would you use for a mask and which would be better, both on price and quality.
And anyone who has tips, no matter how minor, I'd love to read them. I'll add a picture of what I'll be attempting to sculpt.
