It’s gonna help you a lot when it comes to sculpting secondary shapes. It is very easy to locate and transfer this measurement by putting the points of the Vernier. Have a special eye on those with harsher shadows. Make special note of the U shape at the lower corner of the bill. First things first, gather as much references as you can. Ideal for medium-to-short hair sculptures, thermal and wet designing, perming and coloring techniques.Įver wonder how our mannequins are made? There are many steps that include cuticle smoothing, bathing, conditioning, drying, hackling, mask makeup, implantation, and much more. See Measuring Angles and Distances to Model Precisely for details about measuring angles with the Protractor tool. Here, I’m gonna share some of the tips I know from my experience on sculpting likenesses. Ideal for longer layered sculptures, long hair designs, perming and coloring techniques.Įqual lengths consistent throughout. Shorter interior lengths progress to longer exterior lengths. Designed for men’s sculpture, perming and coloring techniques. Shorter exterior lengths progress to longer interior lengths. Use for graduated forms and long hair techniques. Ideal for creating “bob” and one-length hair sculptures, perming and coloring techniques. These forms will help you determine which length arrangement best suits your educational or salon needs. Pivot Point’s four basic forms are known as solid, graduated, increase-layered and uniformly layered forms.

The various length arrangements create the shape of the sculpted form. All hair components and mannequins are identified by their length arrangements. Structure refers to the length arrangement across the curves of the head. Other manufacturers may measure their mannequin directly on the head from front to back, indicating one length in total–not providing a true measurement of how long the hair actually is. Pivot Point measures mannequin hair using a 90° projection angle from the head. The structure graphics illustrate the true length progression to give you a better understanding of how long the hair is and how it will fall.

NOT ALL MANNEQUINS ARE MEASURED EQUALLY–LITERALLY.
