hi, guys!

This my second section of puppets made by me. All of them are platic plate head.

Thanks again (Opinion are welcome)

Miquel, you are really putting out the puppets.  This is great.

Your mouths have improved!  They look good.
I like the white haired gentleman the best of this group.  I like his appearance in general and his eye focus looks good in this photo.  The middle photo fellow has poorer eye focus.  Err on the side of cross-eyed over the eyeballs aiming out unless that is the look your character demands in order to achieve the personality you are trying to develop.  The eye placement rule that they use in the Muppet Workshop is called the "golden triangle" and describes the relationship between the eyes and the nose.  It is roughly a triangle shape with the eye placement determined by standing about 18" inches away from the puppet and adding the pupils (as a final step in a puppet build) so that the eyes are focused on you at this distance.  From farther away this might make the puppet appear slightly cross-eyed, but allows for more believable eye contact with the audience.  This "rule" of course is a suggestion.  Breaking the rule in order to achieve a certain end is always an option.  Either way, trial and error with eye placement using pins to hold the eyes in place while making observations as to whether the configuration in question works well for that particular puppet is always a wise idea.  I have a puppet in my reject bin that I need to cut the eyes off of because I was too quick to glue them on without taking the time to place the eyes on with pins and making observations and corrections before the final gluedown.

Hope this helps.  I'm taking your request for objective feedback literally.  I hope this doesn't discourage your efforts.  I have benefitted quite a bit from objective feedback from others and hope this serves you as well.

Your drive to improve and try new things is admireable!


Pam
P.S. Your puppet stand looks like an IKEA stool tipped over.  I might have to try that. 

Thanks for your advise Ms. Pam(And believe me your advise is good to improve this art). And every time you guys give me advise and comments, its help me a lot (I'm studying some ideas that others gave here, developing this precious art).

Any suggestion, comments, and advise is really welcome as a beginner I'm. (Any help as well)

PS: that stand is from IKEA (Actually is a small chair upsidedown)

Thanks again Miguel!

I agree with Pam your second round of puppets is very nicely improved over the first batch you posted.  The mouths have a nice clean line where the skin fabric meets the mouth plate.  Very nicely done.  I too like the Bearded Puppet the best.  I think it is because the hair helps to smooth the lines of the puppet.  You puppets have a unique look to them.  Keep up the good work.

Thanks, Pastor!

I'm still studying a good method to improve this art!

Thanks

Miguel

You have been busy, As Pam stated do not ever take objective advice the wrong way. It is funny it is very difficult for a person to give direct constructive criticism to someone just starting out without taking there feelings into consideration. You seem determined to learn and any advise is welcomed. This is very good attitude to have. Pam gave you some good advice.................. As you have started building your puppets you will come back a year or so from now and read these post and see how far you have come.
I am very proud of your drive to learn and build puppets. Keep up with the good work, the more you build the better you get. I too like the bearded one strictly because of the eye focus. Beards are good at hiding mistakes to.
Lets see you try something new like a animal or monster type character.

Thanks Mr. Fuller. And I really appreciate your help (given to me). And like you say (Ms. Pam, Mr Jon, Angel, and others) your advvise has helped me a lot. I'm still studying and practicing(actually) for my next section of puppet (Well I got 2 not finish yet, doing them by eyes, just putting together parts, but I Had to postpone them, and think more)

Thanks for your advise! Believe guys, I'm learning

Miguel!

You are learning!!  I like the bearded guy the best too!  He really has a lot of personality!  Looks like he has a story to tell!

Thanks. Actually "Romi" the whitebeard is going to be my story teller in a project I'm thinking.

Thanks again!

Miguel

I did want to add for your puppet to stand out more, you may want to make the inside of the puppets mouth with either red or black fabric using a pink tongue.............. tonsils are usually black used with a pink tongue on red fabric. Experiment and see what works best for you and this will vary as your characters change and you learn to build different type puppets.
