Dragon Head Pattern for Paper Mache

[@npi369]

Proud Mama : ) Thank you for sharing your beautiful Iguana

[@jezzter4106]

Wow!!😮 That dragon looks amazing. That is very very good work.

[@UltimatePaperMache]

Thank you so much 😀

[@terrysharing]

I love the white dragon Jonni! The starkness of that white color gives is a menacing look even though we might think a white dragon would be just the opposite. It's a "snow dragon"! It must breath ice instead of fire. Your work is always beautiful!

[@UltimatePaperMache]

Thanks, Terry. I like your idea of a snow dragon with icy breath - it sounds like a great character for a kid's book. 😊

[@TheGentleDragon2001]

Ahh, yes, my dragon feed has taken me to more dragon stuff! I now have ideas from this 😊

[@UltimatePaperMache]

[@timeenuf4200]

Once again you have shown us how beyond talented you are in this art form. This is absolutely incredible. I believe white, wingless dragons are good luck so I'm liking the color. Thank you for offering your ideas for free as well as for very conveniently priced purchase. You are a delight to watch. Thank you.

[@UltimatePaperMache]

Thank you so much - and I didn't know white dragons are good luck! That's good to hear. 😀

[@ashashasedhara892]

There are no words that I can use to appreciate you. You are simply fantastic both sculpting and painting. They are so realistic. Superb as always. I truly adore you and your work.

[@UltimatePaperMache]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Lorenmcdee]

**GHASP!** OH MY GOODNESS I'm going to make this for myself! Seriously I would buy so many variations of this pattern!

[@UltimatePaperMache]

You can add all the variations yourself! That's one of the reasons why I had so much fun designing this guy. I think my next one will have a beard instead of a front horn, long curvy horns - but I just haven't decided on the colors yet. If you make one, please show it off on the Daily Sculptors page on my website when it's done. I'd love to see it! www.ultimatepapermache.com/daily-sculptors-group-page

[@hollyhalter9237]

Holey moley your dragon is spectacular! I love Jessie's idea of making a printout of one's work to test out color schemes.

[@UltimatePaperMache]

Thanks, Holly. I think I'll try some crayons on a print-out for my next one, and then switch to the computer to get the colors. She's a professional painter, so she has been a big help to me. jessierasche.com/workshops/

[@julzabro]

Fantastic dragon!!!!

[@UltimatePaperMache]

Thanks! 😊

[@dawnuselto8777]

He turned out to be absolutely magical! I'm going to have to get the pattern and make a couple of these, my son would love this! I'm sure that he would have input on the colors that would go on him. I see you found the dragonfly glaze, there is also a color shift paint that they make that might be really interesting to use on one. I'm working on a mushroom for my son's girlfriend, she likes mushrooms and snakes, so I'm working on the simple one first. Maybe before I start on the dragon I'll try the snake and see how that comes out, trying some of the color shift paint. Thanks for the work that you put into the dragon! Stay safe and healthy, God Bless everyone!

[@UltimatePaperMache]

It sounds like you'll be busy! Have fun. 😊

[@4.094]

Oh that is very good idea to test color on any application before actual painting.

[@UltimatePaperMache]

My daughter comes up with a lot of great tips. 😊

[@missdimples1982]

I really love the Ram horns

[@UltimatePaperMache]

Thank you! I'm glad you like them. 😊

[@lechatbotte.]

These stylized dragons are so much fun. Science believes that the flying dragons were what we call pterodactyls. They believe there were three types flying, land moving and those that live in the water. I love this.

[@UltimatePaperMache]

That would explain why they almost always have bat wings instead of bird wings! Thanks!

[@PsychoAxeMan]

I've been using those flattened glass marbles from dollar tree. Painting the bottom. It shows like eyes and I've noticed the eyes even follow you a bit due to the rounding of the glass marble. I used the blue green to make snake eyes and I think it worked out nice

[@UltimatePaperMache]

That sounds really nice. We have a guest post on my blog that shows us how to do that, but I still haven't tried it. If you'd like to show off your snake's eyes, we'd love to see how they look.

[@clementinerainbow2547]

Thank you for generously sharing all your experiences and tips. Your dragon is beautiful. For your information, you can use the Gimp instead of Photoshop because Gimp is a freeware and has similar features to Photoshop and it's free so why miss out. It's a great way to test a color palette before painting the material directly and to avoid sweating it haha. I wonder how to varnish to be able to put the creations outside and that it does not spoil with time? I make paper macher fairies and their natural environment needs to be exposed to rain and frost. I don't know if the marine varnish is suitable because I read that it makes the paint crack. Have you ever tried it? If you have any tips I'm interested. Thank you so much for your generosity in any case, you inspire me a lot. Have a nice sweety day =)

[@UltimatePaperMache]

Thanks for the tip about Gimp - that's really helpful. I've tried marine varnish, just once, and the varnish itself cracked when I moved my tortoise into the sun. I know a lot of people recommend it, but I don't. We do have a guest post on my blog about a big paper mache clay mushroom that's been outside, in Florida, for several years, and Linda recommends Rustoleum Leak Seal. I haven't tried it yet, but I hope to soon. I don't know if any of the hollow sculptures, like this dragon, will ever work outside, because the paper mache is only a layer or two thick, and if any water seeps inside at all the cardboard would probably get ruined - but we are currently testing the new recipe for paper cement clay, over a crumpled foil armature. It's holding up well in the rain and sun, but we have to wait until next spring to really know how well it will do long-term. I don't recommend it sitting directly on the ground, and you wouldn't want to shape it like a bowl so it hold water... You can see the paper cement clay recipe here, but remember we're still experimenting with it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnvdm3yQi9GGmpo

[@marilowe]

Hello Jonni... Wondering if your silky smooth paper mache clay would be a bit translucent if worked thinly and with a light under it? Maybe not translucent but let the light shine under it as if it was opaque plastic maybe... Thank you! 😁

[@UltimatePaperMache]

I don't think so, but it's possible. You'd have to do some experiments. I haven't done anything like that myself.

how awesome just a quick question can i do this paper mache to make a large egg? how would i do that with this recipe? ive watched many videos.

[@UltimatePaperMache]

Yes, you can make an egg with the paper mache clay recipe, or the air dry clay recipe. If the egg will be hollow, and really big, you might want to put on a layer of plaster cloth, first. That will reinforcement it so it won't be easy to break.

[@amypolzella8349]

I was sent to this video from a link on the video about using wood glue but this might not be the right video or I missed the info on how to get the paper mache to lay smooth. Can you please guide me to the correct video?

[@my_garden.secrets]

I stumbled upon this channel...feeling blessed ! Are these sculptures water proof / weather proof ?Plse reply 🥰💚💚💝💖

[@UltimatePaperMache]

No, paper mache of any kind is not waterproof. We do have a new recipe for paper cement clay that appears to hold up well outside, but it has only been tested for a year so far. You can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnvdm3yQi9GGmpo

[@UltimatePaperMache]

And you have some great garden videos on your channel, by the way! What a beautiful spot.

[@my_garden.secrets]

@@UltimatePaperMache thnk yu so much! This coming from you means a lot to me.🥰❤💚

[@timjones747]

these patterns can be created using 3D software if you have the software, it will output the image as a flat template that you can fold and glue together. Also, I do this in my school with students and the best paper you can get is cardboard. Soak in water until you can peel the surface off. let it dry and you have some nice thick brown paper. Since cardboard is free it becomes an affordable project that can be scaled up as big as you are willing to go. Right now, I am miking a 6.5-foot-long Shark.

[@sgt.tattoo9609]

There is a program that is free called, Gimp photo editor. I use it all the time in tattooing, it seems almost identical to Photoshop, Ya, knows but free. Thank you for the video, I love your artwork! Blessed be.

How do you turn an animals head in to geometric shapes to make it easier to build a basic shape?

[@UltimatePaperMache]

Do you mean like the papercraft patterns that are made with triangles? You need to create a 3D model in a computer program, and then unfold it in a program called pepakura. I tried it several times, and my baby elephant wall sculpture was made that way - but not low-poly, which is easy. Mine were high-poly, and the elephant took me almost a month to design. For the low-poly patterns, which take just a few hours, there are lots of KZbin videos that explain how it's done. This is a good one for using a free 3D program: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ63ZYt8f76kY5Y

Since dragons aren't considered real, you could also research photos of dragons from video games or from dungeons and dragons lore books. There are so many kinds of dragons in those references you may find something to suit your decor and taste

So true - and that gives us even more options! I think I've seen advertisements for a brand new fantasy TV show or movie with a very impressive dragon in it. I think he's a metallic black, if I'm remembering right. That would look really nice, too. Thanks for the idea. 😊

[@debbiekelly9756]

How do you make a animal pattern?

[@UltimatePaperMache]

I start with a clay sculpture, and then make multiple paper mache copies of it. I cut them apart and then see if they work right when taping them back together. It takes me two to four weeks to make a pattern, so it's not a very efficient way to make a sculpture, unless you want to help other people make the same one. You can make a sculpture from scratch much faster, using the kind of patterns that I explain in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6i5mqyunMeDi8k
