I made a simple video tutorial of hair/ fur part II. Hope it may help friends here making human hair or animal fur. They are very basic methods and you may need to practice a lot to get the best result.
Here are some tips:
*Before you work on the clay, grab a pencil and a piece of paper, draw hair lines, keep practicing until you can draw all kinds of the lines properly. Basically, what you draw is what you sculpt. It's the same way you move your fingers and tools.
*After you practice drawing. Now, try it on the clay, twist your tools a bit when making lines, so the lines won't be too stiff. Try different length, unless you are doing it on purpose, make the lines naturally uneven! Practice these a lot, so you get more confident with it. Get to know the ability and feature of clay and your tools better.
*Add some undulated and concave areas, from here, you'll need your own judgement, how the hairs will look like, rough, detailed lines or more layers etc.
*Remember, always start from the big portion to the detail, don't go right to the details if you are not happy with the big portion, make lower areas with deeper & more lines. Switch to a pointed tip of tool for the detailed lines. You may use different tools for more detailed lines.
*You can smooth it out by brush it with "nail polish remover" and "nylon brushes". Touch up with pointed tool again if necessary.
What is "nail polish remover" for?
Normally it's hard to smooth out the surface of Super Sculpey, I use nail polish remover to do that. Before you buy nail polish remover, remember to use the test bottle in the shop, take a drop testing on a piece of Super Sculpey (carry by yourself). Put a drop and rub around the clay, if the clay dissolved a bit, it works, if it looks like a droplet and doesn't mix with the clay. Try other brand of nail polish remover.
The video just shows some methods for how to make hairs/ animal furs. Be creative! Try using different tools and keep practicing often. Good luck to your artworks!
Thanks for watching!
