Hello everyone :hi ya: I am new to doll fan look forward to being part of the forum. This is my first attempt at sculpting it is a preemie size head and sorry the clay is very dirty I have just been picking it up when I have some time to spare. I would appreciate any feedback ...am I wasting my time :bash: or do you think I might eventually get the hang of this. Any tips or criticism kindly accepted. Thanks for looking Yvonne

Welcome to DF! It is so nice to have you here. You have come to the right place. I am not a sculptor, but I have been around a while. SOOOO........I have to say that I think your baby looks wonderful. It looks HUMAN! That's the first HUGE step! LOL! It also looks "babyish". Know what I mean? Some don't. I think you have bright future in it. Can't believe this is your first. Good job!

Hi Yvonne! You certainly have sculpting talent so keep going! I have sculpted a few babies and they look more like aliens (and not on purpose :lol: ).

New sculptor? you've got to be kidding. You have sooo much definition , what a great start, and everything looks symetrical. My first , of course they were minis, but they all looked like little old men, yuk they were awful. Just ckean her up and give us another view, would like to see more. Good luck Sherry gabbys girls Oh yea, I forgot to say WELCOME!!!! :hi ya:

:hi ya: Welcome, you will love these ladies. Everyone is very supportive.
If you really want some tips i would give a few if you want. What i would do is
1) Fill in the area from the brow bone to the eye. Babies eyes aren't sunken in they have a lot of padding where the crease is.
2) i would make the ball of the nose a bit smaller but i like the shape
3) the transition of the cheeks to the chin might look more natural if it was filled in a bit, and the chin not soo long.
4) My eye keeps going to the sucking blister could that be a little smaller?

Hope that helps it will be a very special sculpt keep going!!!!!!!!!!!! :toast:

I’m so excited to find this wonderful site. Have been afraid to order from eBay because of the YouTube reviews of people getting scammed there.
I’m so excited to be looking for my very first soft silicone little angel!!! After looking around this site I can tell it’s not going to be easy choosing my new baby. You ladies are truly artists.
I’m excited and nervous at the same time!! But now that I’ve found this great website I know I can trust the decision I make regarding my new baby. 😊🙋
