Ultimate Paper Mache | Armature For Dynamic Animal Sculpture @UltimatePaperMache | Uploaded May 2018 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
This is an advanced method for creating a pattern for the armature for an animal sculpture. Unlike the cardboard patterns I normally use, this one can be twisted along the spine to create a sculpture in a realistic, dynamic posture. You can also bend the leg patterns at the joints, but there's still a cardboard pattern that prevents the 'bones' from bending in the wrong place.
This method should only be used if you're already familiar with using a pattern inside an animal sculpture, and if you're comfortable with the idea of making a pattern of your own based on a photo or sketch.
You can find the book I mentioned, Make Animal Sculptures With Paper Mache, here: amzn.to/1nMUO3a
Some of the projects on my sculpture pattern page also use a cardboard pattern on the inside. You can see them here: ultimatepapermache.com/patterns
And you can find that post about making a poseable hand armature here: ultimatepapermache.com/poseable-hand-armature-for-paper-mache-clay
The cardboard patterns are great for most animal sculptures, but if the spine needs to bend, like the cougar pattern in the video or a puppy playing on his back, this new foil pattern works better. The foil can be twisted and turned in a way that cardboard can't. You'll still want to use a lot of photo references when you make your pattern and when you fill out the forms, so your final sculpture will be realistic.
If you make a new pattern using this new method, let us know what you think.

Now its even easier to sculpt portraits and characters. I added some new pieces to my face-sculpting form (mannequin head) to make it easier to sculpt a face or mask thats flat on the back, and I created new pattern pieces for the neck and shoulders. With the new pieces, you can get started even faster on your next sculpture.
You can download the new pattern for my face and bust sculpting form at https://www.ultimatepapermache.com/face-sculpting-form
