Hi everyone
Can anyone give me a little advice?
Whenever I try to needlesculpt my teds face, I end up making a bridged nose, and it always ends up
with a grumpy boy bear!!
What I really want is the effect of a pretty little girl without the frown.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong please?
Thanks

I don't know about needlesculpting, but I think, you could try to trim away the hair above the eyes a little bit more. Especially with the right eye, the fur hangs over it a bit and creates this sort of frown.
Do you know what I mean?

Hugs, Fallenrose

Yes I see what you mean. Thanks.
I sort of lost interest, when it didn't turn out as expected, so I haven't neatened up the fur properly.
I will carry on and make the best of him....promise!

Hi Sheila bear_original I suggest thread sculpting a bit less between the eyes (don't pull it in together as tight), and a tiny bit more toward the base of the back of the head... and yes, trim the fur a little more in the 'brow' area... maybe this will help?

Thank you Kimberley
I haven't done very much needle sculpting (and it shows).
All advice much appreciated.

By the way, your bears are beautiful... :clap:
