Sculpting Skills: Techniques and Hair Distribution

Sculpting Skills Term seven basic sculpting procedures head position distribution four types of distribution natural distribution perpendicular distribution Definition 1. section 2. position head 3. part 4. distribute 5. project 6. position fingers/shears 7. sculpt design line upright, forward or tilted, directly influences the fall of the hair, which affects the texture and the direction of the sculpted line the direction the hair is combed in relation to its base parting natural, perpendicular, shifted, and directional. the direction the hair assumes as it falls naturally from the head due to gravity the hair is combed at a 90 degree or right angle from its base parting. used for primarily graduated and layered forms hair is combed out of natural distribution in any direction except perpendicular to its base shifted distribution parting. directional distribution hair is distributed in a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal direction. also known as elevation, is the angle which the hair is held in relation to the curve of the projection head prior to and while sculpting. technique in which slightly closed shears slide along the strand to produce rapid length slide cutting increase refereed to as efiliating, a technique in which the shears are opened and closed slithering rhythmically while moving upward from the ends slithering removes bulk and creates mobility technique in which slightly closed shears slide along the strand to produce a rapid length slide cutting increase. technique is performed by rotating the razor and the comb in a light circular motion to razor rotation reduce bulk and blend the form. hair should also be damp when performing this. used to reduce weight or remove length. hair is carved into with a razor using back and razor etching forth motion. moveable guide that consists of a small amount of previously sculpted hair which is used mobile design line as a length guide subsequent partings. stationary design line constant, stable guide to which all lengths are directed design line artistic pattern or length used while sculpting and can be stationary or mobile. texturizing referred to as tapering or thinning, involved sculpting short lengths within the form. slicing performed by gliding the open shears along the surface of the hair to achieve mobility.
