» Persnickety Porcelain: How to Minimize Your Loss Rate With this Gorgeous, Yet Difficult, Material. Figurative sculptors website - Sculpture Community - Sculpture.net. Help with eyes - Sculpture Community - Sculpture.net. When I began to sculpt, I certainly found eyes about the most difficult part of the face to model in clay.
As Racine said, what we see is below the surface - the eye basically is a sphere, with the iris and other colored and active parts of the eye actually inside the sphere. Thus, we MUST treat the sculpted eye as an artificial object, and construct something that is believable as an eye, even if by analysis we know it's not correct. The image of Michelangelo's David above shows this very well. What I found necessary is a correct set of eyelids and surroundings, such as the small triangle of muscle next to the nose, as well as correct upper and lower lids, and a correct joining of the two lids at the outside edge of the eye. The muscle tissue and eybrows above the eye, and the degree of overlap (undercut) and sag of facial muscle and skin below the eye also are important.
View topic - Cracks in water based clay. I get this question a lot, and there are bits of info regarding this subject scattered about the forum, but since there isn't really a topic that is easy to find, I'll add one here since I got asked this question again today after someone searched the forum and didn't find the answers they were looking for.
