Back when I made this doll in 2015, I made my tutorial at the same time. The photos in the guide were all of him, and all the methods listed were the ones I used on him. But since I've learned how to make dolls better, I've replaced a lot of those pictures, and updated the information. It's a little sad he's been slowly shifted out, but this whole section has always been dedicated to him! He will always be special to me.

4. Clay Parts
Your doll can have lots of clay parts, or no clay parts at all! Doesn’t even have to be clay either, you can use any sculpting material as long as it is sturdy enough, such as Apoxie sculpt, thermoplastic, and resin cast parts.
After I’ve made my eyes and they’ve fully dried, I can then sculpt the face of my doll. I usually start with a core of aluminum on a tiny armature, aka my baking stand.

The compressor I got specifically, is Master Airbrush brand TC-20T. It is very small, pretty quiet and good for small projects.
I DID IT!!!
