A super quickie 'tutorial' with an example of the sort of pattern I create for plush heads and how I needlesculpt the features.
I can't stress enough that needlesculpting can be done lots of different ways. Even using this diagram you can achieve different looks by changing the spacing of the stitches and how snugly you pull. As an example... The prototype plush is stuffed pretty firmly and the fabric gave a little under the stress of the sculpting stitches. So I had to ease the stitches a bit to find a balance. Other fabrics I've been able to pull hard and the fabric can handle it (good quality fleece, for instance, doesn't require such hard stuffing and can handle taut stitches). Hope this helps someone! |

what is needlesculpting?
I feel dumb for asking but i wandered around the internet forever and my last resort is to just ask. >.>
Needlesculpting (also called needle modeling) is using a long needle and strong thread to sort of pull a stuffed form into a certain shape rather than creating it from a complex pattern. In this case I'm using it to define the eye and mouth areas of a plush which is pretty simple. More complex needle sculpting can be used to define noses and wrinkles as well. Extremely complex needle sculpting, usually over an armature, can be used to create very realistic detail (as shown in the amazing work of cloth sculptor, Lisa Lichtenfels).
So it's a very versatile technique! ^_^
