- This helpful art tutorial will demonstrate how to sculpt better animal heads. The information in this how-to video is simple and easy to follow along for all learning levels, from the beginner sculptor in ceramics to the more seasoned sculptor wanting to advance their skills. You will learn helpful tips for sculpting better faces and facial features of animals, such as eyes, ears, mouths, and the general face shape. I will also demonstrate and explain some common sculpting fails when it comes to creating more realistic sculptures. From this tutorial, you will gain insights and processes for making impressive sculptures of animals. Throughout this video, you'll watch me demonstrate how to sculpt a fox, but if you skip ahead to the last quarter of the video, I will speed sculpt a bear, cat, and fish as well. You are encouraged to follow along with me, or watch it and then reference as necessary! From this video, you will learn a bullet-proof process that I have taught to hundreds of students who have found success with it!
This tutorial will teach you:
- common mistakes in sculpting animal faces
- preparation materials
- processes that work for all animals
- how to sculpt individual features of the face (eyes, ears, nose, and mouth)
Do you have any questions? Anything you need clarified? Ask me in the comments! I ALWAYS answer your comments. No lame hearts and ignoring comments from this guy.

You’re so welcome! Anything more you’d like to see on this topic?
Love it. You're a great teacher
Thank you!
Finally found a video that has proper instructions and information regarding sculpting. I picked up on clay sculpting because it helps with my anxiety disorder and now I can try your methods as they seem exactly for a beginner like me.
Liked it and subscribed. 👍🏻
Hey thanks so much! I hope you enjoy the rest of my tutorials and content!
What kind of animal are you sculpting today?
@@TheArtMentor actually I'm working on a skull, from the video you made. I found that very interesting as well, so I was like, maybe I'll start with this first. Lol
Yeah that’s a great progression! It’s tough to make these so I’m happy to supply you and others with more tutorials like this!
Ditto. Everything i have come across never even discusses accuracy, and their work really shows it. So, I really agree with your statement 👏
He is such a good teacher.
Hey thanks that’s so nice to hear 😊I hope you enjoy the rest of my tutorials
Brilliant thank you x
happy to hear this helped! What are you sculpting?
Great examples!
Thank you!
These techniques are applicable to creating any creature - real or fantasy!
Very applicable to dragon, humans, or any fantasy beasts 👍
This video was very helpful! thank you
Glad to hear! What are you sculpting?
Thank you do much. I learned why my animals look more like cartoons than anything close to reality 🙃
SO, thank you. You're a great teacher - much appreciated
Thanks so much for watching! Since you’re sculpting animals, have you seen my other video on animal feet as well?
Thanks lots. I learned a lot.
You’re very welcome! What kind of animal are you sculpting?
This is great! The hardest thing for me are the eyes. The whole head is intimidating. Bless you for making such an amazing video for beginners like me!
Yeah it has crazy ugly potential doesn’t it? Lol I’ve seen my share of scary looking animal faces 😂 happy to hear this helped you!
Since you’re making an animal, have you seen my tutorials in animal feet and textures as well?
@@TheArtMentor I’ve kept my old sculpts of animals, and they’re terrifying! I’ll be sure to check those out as well! Feet are hard to detail. Thanks again for the amazing tutorial!
My pleasure! Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions for other helpful tutorials 👍
This is awesome👏👍🏻
Thanks so much! Glad that you enjoyed 😁
Been struggling with a few tiger head sculpts on and off for the past few months and wondering why it was going wrong. I get 2 minutes in and I realize I shouldn’t have been focusing almost entirely on the forward-facing angle 😂. Thanks for the informative video, hope that implanting this advice will help :)
You're welcome, my friend! I have loads of other resources for you as well
Great demo! Lots of excellent info! Please drop the background noise though. Makes it really hard to hear. Thanks 😊
Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed! Yeah unfortunately you can’t edit CZcams videos once uploaded 😅 I’ll keep that in mind for future content! So what are your you sculpting today with the help of this?
Very good video, I would love to make a standing chiguagua
Oh that’s awesome! Have you ever made free standing sculpture before?
If only there was a way to mute the music....your technique is great.
Yeah unfortunately CZcams doesn’t allow me to edit videos once uploaded 😅
So what kind of animal are you sculpting?
@@TheArtMentor Oh that is so interesting. I'm making a rat, it will be great because of your very helpful hints, thank you.
That’s awesome! Will you share it with me on instagram when it’s done? I’d love to see it!
Btw I have some other tutorials that might help you out, like the animal feet video
💯💯💯
What kinds of this clay you used?
I would like to try making a bear head instead🤔 can I apply acrylic on this afterwards?
I just use simple porcelain clay with grogg. Pretty basic stuff. And sure, you can paint it with acrylics afterwards once it’s been fired first 👍 any other questions?

Thanks for watching!

Good suggestion!

Great video, really informative, but why the music? It's so unbelievably annoying and not necessary, it made it hard to focus on your words. Shame as your content is brilliant.
Hey thanks for watching and I’m glad this helped you! As you might’ve noticed, this is amongst my first videos, so I apologize for the music 😅 I didn’t know everything I know now, and CZcams doesn’t let you edit videos after uploading. I hope you’ll overlook my early videos like this and continue enjoying my content 😁
Hi, ah that makes sense! This was the only video I have seen but it inspired me to book a sculpture course, so thanks for that. I shall watch more!@@TheArtMentor
@TabanyaRuuFinnishLapphunds enjoy!
Please get rid of the background Muzak
Sorry, you can’t edit videos once uploaded 😅 I hope you still found this helpful!
