Plasticine Puppets: Girl

For the Millers Daughter character, I had to make almost her full legs in plasticine for the moulds as she is wearing a skirt that will move more than the other characters trousers and shorts. Because of this I need to make sure that no foam will be on show if the skirt moves. I also had to make her feet as her character is bare foot and I had to make sure her feet fit over the armature's feet. I also had to make them look in proportion to the rest of her character which was a bit of a challenge.
I also had to make both of her hands and arms up past the elbows as her top is a 3/4 sleeve. Her hands are also the smallest out of all the characters so I had to put more detail into less space which was very tricky. This character is different to the others as I also had to create a bust for a mould as she is wearing a low cut top. This meant I had to work out how wide her shoulders will be and make sure that it fit over the armature.
