New Wendy Froud Sculpting Video

Last year I ordered Wendy Froud's Creating a Faery Figure from the World of Froud's Goblin market. I went back to visit a few days ago to see what was new and found that she has a new sculpting video out. This one on Characters.



Creating a Character Figure
with Wendy Froud
$45.00
In this two-disc DVD workshop, renowned artist Wendy Froud explains and demonstrates how to create a character figure of your own design. Wendy reveals her process in step-by-step detail, beginning with a discussion of how to use reference to inspire the look and feel of your designs. She sculpts three different character heads, covering a variety of techniques for giving personality to your figure including facial expressions, wrinkles and lines. After painting each head and discussing ways to add skin detail such as age spots, she chooses one head to turn into a full character. Wendy then covers sculpting hands and feet, fabricating the body and costuming the character complete with boots, hat and staff. This DVD is meant to follow Wendy’s first DVD Creating a Faery Figure and focuses on character sculpting and costuming without the same emphasis given to body fabricating.

Topics Covered:
Using Reference
Making an armature
sculpting the head
Sculpting wrinkles and lines
Painting Face details
applying hair
Fabricating the body
Costuming
finishing the figure

DVD's will ship on or before January 12.
