An absolutely brilliant tutorial, thank you for this. Please do many more, especially showing you refining features etc towards the end. Thank you for uploading this for free for those artists who can't afford to buy, it is very kind of you and so appreciated.
Tip thank you so much for this most excellent tutorial. It is very generous for an artist and teacher of your caliber to share something as valuable as this with us!
What a wonderful tutorial. The pleasure you take in the subtle planes, bumps, and hollows of the human form is infectious and rekindles my own. Thank you so much.
I learned much watching this. I am mainly self taught but know that I would benefit from learning more about planes in a class. I was a dental assistant and studied patients faces unbeknown to them. You are the kind of teacher I would volunteer to help clean in the studio! Happy teacher, happy teacher's pet! Lol Blessings
Love your vibe and teaching..I'm not professional trained nor even schooled but enjoy sculpting and watching others do the art..Thank you for your time...!
I’m new to sculpting. I was about to give up on it, the facial features were driving me crazy. I was at work one day and saw a link to your work and decided to watch. I’m so glad I did. You’ve inspired me to keep trying. I appreciate that you take your time and explain everything so thoroughly. You’re beautiful and it shows in your art. I spent the entire shift watching your videos. Beautiful, the best I’ve ever seen. I hope I will some day be at least half as talented. Thanks for sharing this yourself with me!
This is exactly what I have been looking for. I am hoping that you have made a video showing the removal of a sculpture from the armature- I cannot wrap my head around exactly how it is done. I will look through your channel to find it if is there- this is the first of your classes that I have watched and have subscribed. You have made my day!!!!
This is such a fantastic tutorial, Tip. Thank you so much for this. You are an excellent teacher. So many people are good sculptors but are not good teachers. You are both. This is so helpful and clear and straightforward. Beautiful!!!
It's easy to learn with someone like her, the kindness in the voice and the smile in the face show that she loves transmiting her knowledge. It's seen that it's not another tutorial to sell classes...Thank very much for sharing it...Congratulations from Brazil...
What an incredibly informative tutorial. Your explainations of the proportions, where to place which feature, how big each must be and the useful tips on where to add, where to remove, how to shape and what to be careful of, will forever be helpful. I will probably re-watch this tutorial several times in the future and probably have a few heads to show for it...Thank you so much Tip.
You are an incredible talented woman. Loved to see you work with your gentle and accurate hands. Thank you so much for showing us in detail how a head is build up from scratch. ❤
Thank you, Tip Toland, for this tutorial that so clearly explains how to sculpt the male head. I recommend it to my students as an opportunity to watch, again and again, the techniques they need to understand to create expressive heads.
After so many years of stifling a need to sculpt... I feel like I have finally found the right instructor! I am so relieved! I can hardly wait to buy clay and tools, now that I also see what I need to buy to get started. I am in heaven! Thank you SO much:) I am looking forward to watching everything you have uploaded. You are a true artist! :)
Please also remember to keep me as well updated in a manner of being stuck and in need of some few tips I might help I am a artist as well Who's so much inspired by other people's work and strategies they apply during their process in hyper realistic art work I can help only were you are sure you need assistance Hope though you got every step correct it's is a similar way I deal with a human measurements And placements of all the details taught above Nice meeting people who are devoted in growing in art work Even in helping you with pencils used for portraits In sketch feel free And if need advice about wood portrait I'm available God bless you
You are absolutely delicious to watch and learn from! Thank you so much for doing these tutorials. Your voice is such a window to your soul... utter kindness and creativity. Thank you for sharing your gifts with beginners like myself. I treasure these videos!
I have sculpted heads myself so I know how hard it is to sculpt the human form. I think you are brilliant and I am so grateful to have your lectures on TH-cam the next thing is to buy your books.
I absolutely loved this video. You explain and break everything down so perfectly.You certainly have mastered your craft; It was a pleasure to watch you work! Thank you so much for passing along your wisdom.
oh my gosh she's adorable!!! I feel like she's my little auntie ^^ this is a great tutorial, so informative and easy to follow, and she makes it really enjoyable to watch!
Thank you for such an insightful video. I'm a self taught aspiring artist and your video has given me new insight into portraiture drawing/painting! I've watched it twice and will come back for more references!! You're a skillful and talented artist and teacher!
Super Great!! This is simply THE BEST TUTORIAL on how to sculpt a clay head on TH-cam. Period. Thank you Tip for your time, knowledge, and generosity!!

Thank you so much for sharing your craft with us. You're an amazing artist & teacher. I'm so grateful I found you & this detailed tutorial. Many thanks.
Thanks Tip. What a great tutorial. When our son Elijah did the bust of Dean, he used those kind of techniques. Hope you can meet Elijah one of these days. Miss you!
I found this captivating viewing- thanks so much for sharing your talent and insights. You've helped explain so many of the proportions and relationships of facial features in a manner that made perfect sense. I hope return to this video many, many times for reference for work in many mediums- a fantastic resource.
I just did a portrait bust of Lou Gehrig during a sculpture class. After doing that, watching this is so informative! I now know what I did wrong and what to do next time! Thanks!

Wonderful tutorial. I’m a professional illustrator, and while I’m no novice to working 3D for some ideas or projects, I haven’t really sculpted since childhood and have been recently getting more into sculpture as a hobby and extension of my drawing practice; this was a really wonderful professional-level instructional video, she’s a brilliant communicator and her use of tools is great for helping us understand. She’s great. Thanks for the upload!
Tip, I just became interested in sculpture and watched your tutorial and it really helped especially the measuring and proportions of the head and features.You gave me the incentive to keep doing it. I need a lot of practice . Thank You Florence Truskowski
Best tutorial I have seen. She did the whole thing in an hour and that includes all the talking time teaching us.
