New portrait bust step by step sculpt........CHRISTOPHER LEE AS THE FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER!
I AM POSTING HERE SOME STEP BY STEP PHOTOS OF CHRIS LEE AS THE MONSTER.
The commissioned to sculpt him came from a collector and I thought that you would like to follow me as I create the bust from start to finish and then creating the latex painted bust.
I hope you enjoy the show
THE SCULPTING TOOLS AND CLAY I USE
PHOTO REFERENCE OF LEE WITHOUT MAKE UP REFERENCE OF LEE AS THE MONSTER
RIDGED FOAM SKULL THAT I MAKE
SIDE VIEWS
CLAY LAY INS
SUPER SCULPEY GRAY AND TWO DIFFERENT SIZES OF EYES AS PER THE CHARACTER
NOT LOOKING FOR LIKENESS YET, JUST OVERALL FORMS
REFINING THE FORMS AND SEARCHING FOR THE LIKENESS...........
STAY TUNES FOR PART TWO!
IN THE NEXT SERIES OF PHOTOS, I HAVE REFINED THE FORMS AND BEGAN SEARCHING FOR THE LIKENESS
OF CHRISTOPHER LEE.
FIRST COMES THE ACTOR THEN THE CHARACTER.
THE TOOLS THAT I USE BEGIN TO SMALLER AND SMALLER TO TEASE THE LIKENESS OUT OF THE BASIC SHAPES.
I CONSTANTLY REFER TO THE REFERENCE PHOTOS OF EVERY ANGLE TO MAKE SURE THAT I STAY IN SCALE WITH THE FORMS AND FEATURES.
The make up can be tricky as in this character.
WORK SLOWLY, BUILD UOP THE LIKENESS ALL AROUND THE FACE.
*DO NOT FINISH THE NOSE BEFORE YOU FINISH THE MOUTH
* WORK ALL OVER THE FACE
*BRING UP THE LIKENESS ALL TOGATHER
SOME TIMES I LIKE TO TEST OUT SKIN TEXTURES ON THE FACE.
NOTICE I HAVE CREATED SOME PORES ON THE NOSE.
THEY WILL BE WIPED OUT IN THE CORRECTING OF THAT FEATURE.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME IN PART THREE!
DANIEL
PART THREE
Well I have been working on refining the likeness for three days now (between other assignments).
More of laying on the creature make up
NOW IS THE TIME TO HIKE UP YOUR SOCKS AND HUNKER DOWN FOR SOME INTENSE DETAIL SESSIONS!
STAY TUNED FOR PART FOUR!
PART FOUR!
WELL I FINISHED THE SCULPT.
I AM VERY HAPPY WITH HOW THIS CHARACTER CAME OUT.
THE CHALLENGE WITH THIS PIECE WAS TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE HECK WAS GOING ON WITH THAT VERY ODD MAKE UP.
AFTER REALLY STUDYING THE PHOTOS AND WATCHING THE MOVIE AGAIN, I DECIDED TO TAKE EACH PIECE OF MAKE UP AND FINISH IT BEFORE I WENT ONTO THE NEXT PART.
I HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED THIS LITTLE TUTORIAL, IT WAS FUN FOR ME TO CREATE IT.
BE WELL,
DANIEL
