Artistry Unveiled: Meet World-Renowned Sculptor, Ping Lau
How do you maintain precision and detail when working on a larger scale? Even though it’s a large sculpt, I still look through magnifiers to ensure that all the details are finely picked out.
Did you face any challenges while sculpting the Alanna doll? The main challenge was capturing her joyous expression as closely as possible. I studied her photo in minute detail and I was also given other photos of her that I could reference.Add Elma's Answer
Were there any specific details you focused on to bring the Alanna doll to life? Her great smile! I tried to capture her spirit and sparkle as much as possible. Her eyes smile as much as her mouth does so I had to reproduce that in my sculpture to make sure the doll’s entire face beams!
How do you feel about the final product and its impact on the Paradise Galleries doll collection? I was very pleased with the reproduction. I think the vinyl retained a lot of detail and the rooted hair is especially nice for collectors to style. Our collectors have been asking for a large toddler for a long time so I’m very happy that we were able to give them what they wanted.
