Needle Felting Animal Creation

“Great, we have reached the end of the course! Thank you for joining me on this trip, to make one more doll in this zoo without bars. I hope you have been wanting to start making your favorite animals and begin to see them with new eyes when it comes to sculpting from the inside out. Let's now see the steps necessary to build the doll. In this way I would like you to tell us and show us your process, so we can see the step by step of your project. The first thing you will do is plan the route. It is the easiest and fastest way to reach your destination, the bases are very important to develop a style, a voice and a special character for your characters. So now it's your turn to make decisions that will lead you to create unique animals with your own style. Once you have decided on the animal and its basic structure, you will go in search of the materials. Don't complicate yourself by finding the best or the most specialized, experimentation is essential in this process, so go for the basics and get to work.

Then you will begin to make the structure in wire and shillings and then fill your doll. Print your soul and begin to create a being that begins to resemble that model you chose. Now with the body ready, you will dress your doll. You will cover it with leather looking for the special characteristics that the model has: colors, spots and overtones. After having the body ready, you will concentrate on an essential part: the face. You will work on the ears, nose, eyes and most importantly; the expression of your doll. And finally the final details. Add those elements that are characteristic of the chosen model. I can't wait to see your animals come to life with your unique and special touch! Remember, practice makes perfect. Share in the forum the results of your step by step, I will be visiting it periodically to see your progress. Share with this community your favorite pet or animal and how you apply what you have learned. Remember that there are also other students who, like you, will contribute their opinion; The best way to grow and improve every day is to have feedback because that way we will improve together, correcting things that we had not seen at first, motivating each other every day to be better. Share your work and experiences with us and together let's create the largest felting community in the world!”
