Video Transcript

"Alright, when you do a bust, most busts and clay and sculpture and so forth are usually of someone. But, when I do it, sometimes I just do it to see if I can make a human head look somewhat realistic and that's what we're going to do today. We're not trying to be Michelangelo and so forth, but we're trying to get somewhat realistic and in proportion, so, just going to draw a head here. Then do the ears, I'm going to do this one a little bit smaller and then put lips over here. Think I'm going to do a male bust, and then the nose and then eyebrows and the eyes and then, just going to come in and do the jaw and the chin. Then the neck's going to come out, start narrow and go wider and then the base is just going to come down, something like this and I've got the track. So, basically this is going to be my basic idea, basically."
