New head design

I thought I would do another head which was a bit more cartoony so here it is

ball and socket

I have done the low low budget of making ball and socket making. The balls and bars i got from a jewellery shop online, you can get the balls and bars for real cheap and many different sizes. 

I bought some stripes from ebay, they are copper clad strips used in model train construction, they are the perfect size and quite strong.

i made a jig to hold the stripes. Place to strips on top of each other and slot them into the jig, i marked on the jig where i want to drill into the stripes so every pair will be the same.

Once the holes were drilled I made some marks on the outside so i know the pieces will only slot together that way, if they are put back together in a different way the alignment may be off 

                                                           

After drilling the holes i placed the balls and bars into the outer holes and a nut and bolt in the centre and there you go, you have a low budget self manufactured ball and socket joint. 

                                      

head moquette

Here i have sculpted a neck with a prominent adams apple.

below i have sculpted two different heads, im not 100% about either so i think im going to do some more, maybe make it more cartoony like a caricature.

 i do like the cartoony look of this one but he doesn't look very old?
