Hi everyone.
I`m just starting in sculpture, and i want to make 8" to 11"
tall figures in polymer clay (super sculpey), and one of the
things that i`m investigating now is the construction of an
armature, i found a very good tutorial for that, here is the
link:
http://www.iespana.es/alterton/Needham/2bit.htm
The tutorial is very clear, showing all the process of the
construcction of an armature, but it seems to me that the
whole armature it`s made in one piece, at least with the
head joined to the rest of the body.
-What i whan`t to know is how can i make an armature, and put
the head and the hands later?....i prefer to model the head and
the hands separately from the rest of the body..
-Another question is that i see some kind of base that hold
the armature, i have seen several sculptures with this
base with a tube that go through the back of the figure,
My question is how this tube is removed from the back of
the sculpture when is finish?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME
