It's... a decent attempt. It would probably look good if the anatomy wasn't so screwed up.

Then again, the same could be said about most Western fanworks.

You can sculpt an ugly Yukari but you can't resize or rotate a picture in Photoshop.

HOW IRONIC

>> No.1319349

This is...terrible...

I'm on first semester of an animation career. Can't wait for third semester when we get sculpture courses.

From what I have seen/heard from the seniors:
First of all use wire skeleton as base. Then start applying clay in bands, similar to how muscles work. After you get the general body shape, you can start smoothing the material to get the skin. Carefully. A bit of water in your fingers help.

Don't just try to mold lumps of raw clay.

No OP, but really, for me, the hardest part is trying to make a proper mold for the figurine. Apparently, you're supposed to split the figurine into parts, but I don't have enough faith in myself to try it.

>> No.1319517

>>1319500

Why would you want to make a mold If you're keeping the figure for yourself?

Using 1) A popsicle stick cut its shaped like a scalpel and 2) a scalpel helps alot.

If your skills are not yet good enough, then you shouldn't be worrying about making molds. If you're good enough, then ok.

>What's the main problem with painting?
I don't know. Just doesn't ever look right. I've only used airbrushes once, and the results were disastrous.

That's another reason why I'd like to have more copies on hand, so I can practice a bit before committing myself to a final copy. I'm no pro or anything, and I'm on a tight budget, but I suppose it's better than fapping 24/7.

I don't know, I was always under the impression that the material was relatively cheap.

I guess it's all just hopes and dreams then. Even if I did make something half-decent, I don't have a camera to take pictures to advertise.

I don't sculpt (yet), but I have some experience in aircraft modelism and painting.

Work in an position so your hand is always supported by something. For starters you might want to start with normal brushes before moving into airbrushing. Get the finest brush you can get, a 0 size would be perfect for details like the face. TAKE IT EASY.
I use acrylics, so I don't know about enamels, but don't use the paint straight out of the bottle, dillute it till it has the consistency of milk, you'll need to give it several coats, but the result is pretty smooth (almost like an airbrush).

When painting around areas you have already painted, mask them using 3M magic tape or something weaker. You need so that it doesn't adheres too strongly to the surface, but can remain in place while painting. It won't be possible always, but it helps a lot. Otherwise you need pretty good control of your hand. Take it easy.

Also, follow >>1319349 advice.

I don't know what exactly you want to use so I can't really say if it'll be expensive but if you can barely get by in your current state then don't go around buying shit to fund this hobby until you can afford it.

You can go to Desuchan to get tips on mould making and material to use. There's a guy making a doll; he might be able to recommend some cheap material.
