You can follow it step by step or focus on the techniques you need for your own project.

Guest:
Can I get personal guidance?
Anna:
Absolutely! We can focus on your own project, whether you're just starting out or working on something specific. Join my community and let's discuss your ideas.
Guest:
Why do I need the prototype?
Anna:
The paper framework helps you build the figure’s basic volumes. Fill it with plasticine and refine the anatomy before carving. Keep the finished prototype beside you as a three-dimensional reference while you work in wood.
Guest:
Do I need professional sculpting skills?
Anna:
No. My paper templates guide the basic proportions and volumes. You assemble the framework, fill it with plasticine and refine the shapes with the lessons.
Guest:
Can I make a different size?
Anna:
The templates are designed for a doll about 40 cm / 15,75 in tall. To change the size, print both the framework templates and carving patterns at the same scale. Keep the prototype and wooden parts at matching sizes.
