In this video I show you how I added plaster cloth over my skull-shaped form. The form was made using a pattern I created, and it really helps when sculpting a human face or head.
You won't need the plaster cloth if you're using a softer modeling clay, but if you use a wet clay, like I did in a previous video, the water in the clay will eventually make its way through the plastic tape and dampen the cardboard. You can always just make a new form using the same pattern, but for a permanent form you intend to use often, the plaster cloth will really help.
If you'd like to use my pattern, you can find it here: ultimatepapermache.com/face-sculpting-form
All of the patterns for the animals behind me in the video can be found here: ultimatepapermache.com/patterns
To see how the skull-shaped form's pattern is put together: youtu.be/3ostlWK64H8
To see me sculpting a man's head with the form: youtu.be/xTsUGNosr_A
If you use the form to make a face sculpture, I really hope you'll come back to my website and show it off: ultimatepapermache.com/daily-sculptors-group-page
I'd love to see it.

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.
