Hair Punching Hyper Realistic Sculpture#3 Part 3

It's been really hectic lately with a number of different projects on the go simultaneously.  I can't complain because work is what a studio is all about and it 's great to be able to work with others helping them in part with the production of their projects.
During all this activity, I had a bit of down time and made a concerted effort to finish punching in all the head hair on BB. The hair,by the way, I'm using for the entire sculpture is real. That is different from the two previous pieces in this series because OW and OM used a combination of real and synthetic hair. The main reason for only using real human hair for this particular sculpture is colour.I wanted a reddish or ginger colour for BB and that was only available in natural hair.  The other reason,it's easier to style,especially if I choose to keep the beard.

The hair at this point is just "roughed in" at this time. It will give me an opportunity to figure out which direction to go,hair length,style etc. and to make corrections as I'm working. The beard,eyebrows,eyelashes and body hair still need a lot of attention as well.
The next post will have a review of the entire process of BB from the beginning through to the present.
Until then, have a great week.
