    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!!!

You’ve helped explain so many of the proportions and relationships of facial features in a manner that made perfect sense.

    I just wanted to say thank you for your generosity of putting this video together. This information that you’re sharing is invaluable to beginner face sculptors such as myself, I’m actually a cake designer and I’d like to increase my skills in the area of face sculpting with modeling chocolate and fondant and what you are teaching in terms of the proper measurements is simply invaluable and makes all the difference in the world. Thank you again!

    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.

    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!
