Ice Breaker : 3D Portrait

3D POTRAIT  

The first activity for this term consisted of creating a 3D portrait with whatever material we have, I used clay because I had the necessary tools to create a portrait of myself.

To start my self portrait, I first took a picture of myself and made a bust out of kitchen foil because I didn't have a lot of clay and I needed something to start with.

Having the shape of my head, I began to put clay around it, and then I began to make the shape of my face, starting with the shape of the eyes and then the cheekbones and then the nose and finally the mouth.

I was able to complete the shape of my face, except for the eyes that I did not know how to make them I watched YouTube tutorials on how to do it but I never get it, because the clay was breaking or my pulse was shaking.

In the end my 3D portrait was like a Moai without the eyes. When completing the face, I did details like the hair and beard.

When the clay dried I started to paint it in a melted style with acrylic colours, I got the idea of ASPENCROW from the way they paint their RIRI sculpture.

I liked the result but I think I used too much colour because the beard details could not be seen.
