Nose Reconstruction
For this project, I had to make a face cast and sculpt my own nose on my own face from photo references. I then had to mold, cast, and intrinsically color the nose using silicone.

Facecast and sculpting tools
For this project I plugged the nose in my mold so I could sculpt my nose directly on my own face. Cast face in plaster
