Tutorial with wayne:

 

How to improve the anatomy of my sculpt? Take the temple a little lower, cut out a section so that you can see the core underneath and follow the anatomy. The temple needs to be at more of an angle and lower. The cap needs to be taken up above the eyebrow; the wrinkles need to be less uniform and more random. Also need to be closer together.

 

How far should my sculpt go down at the back? Think about movement and whether it will be seen. The further down you go can allow for more movement. The hair can cover any edges.

 

For the sideburns you could blend it by adding stubble, or possible flocking.

 

To measure the thickness use a pin all the way around it should be 2-3mm thick.

 

The keys need to be around 5mm away from the edge and then cut the face around the centre to allow for easier moulding process.

 

Take your time with the mould. You need to spend as long on the sculpt as you would for the sculpt.

Tutorial with Pete Tindal. 17th November 2015

  •  Silicone bald cap- they are now using collapsible cores, which are very complex this is to ensure a seam free bald cap. Used in batman film and Eastenders.

  • Mould it in a two part mould from the centre, go back slightly to hide the seam line more

  • The cap is better to be bigger around by the ears as you can trim behind them as the seams will not be visible

  • Make the clay wall and then cut the fibreglass face around to make it easier to inject

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

Tutorial with Carolyne

  • research more into hairlines

  • look at celebrtities, what age do they lose their hair?

  • how old are men when they lose their hair and why?

  • tattoos- stamps used previously for continouity reasons

Tutorial with Sara 

  • think about the styling of the hair, how are you going to cut it? what products will you use to change the textures?

  • How can it be made to look greasy? Vaseline, hair gel?

I had a tutorial with Pete as I was curious of how they made bald caps in industry without a seamline, he explained to me how they made collapsable cores but this is something so complex I may find it too advanced or it would be a one project in itself. He advised me to make the clay wall at the back of the head to hide the seamline more.

As I was working too much time into my bald cap, I asked Wayne Humprey his advice on where I was going wrong. I felt like I had been staring at it for too long and could not see the errors I had made. Two eyes are better than one and Wayne was able to give me the advice I needed to finalise my sculpt.
