In this short video, I sculpt a 2-inch miniature human head in clay, carefully forming the eyes, nose, lips, and ears by hand. This tiny portrait focuses on the purity of form and proportion, showing how even a small bald head sculpture can clearly express human anatomy. Working at a miniature scale helps develop control and observation, making this a perfect example of miniature human face sculpture created with simple clay modelling methods.
The process begins with blocking the head shape and setting correct proportions for a small clay portrait. Step by step, I refine each feature, demonstrating clean and smooth clay detailing. You’ll see my approach to nose sculpting in clay, followed by eyes sculpting in clay with attention to balance and symmetry. The lesson continues with lips sculpting in clay, using gentle pressure to achieve natural flow, and finishes with precise ear sculpting in clay on both sides. This is a clear clay modelling step-by-step demonstration from start to finish.
This tutorial is ideal for anyone interested in clay modelling for beginners as well as artists revisiting fundamentals. The miniature format makes it easier to understand realistic clay face sculpting while learning essential portrait anatomy. I also touch on traditional moorti banana concepts and clay murti making techniques adapted to a very small scale. Choosing the best clay for sculpting is important here, and I prefer soft clay modelling to keep the surface smooth and workable.
Most of the sculpture is shaped using fingers, with minimal use of sculpting tools for clay, encouraging better hand sensitivity and control. Simple clay smoothing techniques help achieve a neat, refined finish. For artists who enjoy clay carving and fine detail, this miniature study is an excellent practice exercise. If you’re searching for how to make a clay face, this short tutorial explains the entire process in a simple and approachable way.
Miniature clay portraits like this strengthen patience, precision, and structural understanding. Whether you practice at home or teach others, these methods will improve your clay model making skills. As a clay artist from India, my aim through Art with Vinod is to share honest, traditional techniques that help artists grow. This fully handmade miniature portrait reflects the timeless charm of classical clay art and disciplined practice.
