Study Boards Assignment/Notes Board 1: Direct clay onto board. This one got pretty funky, and I pulled the ripcord and bailed on it. Either it was because this was my first attempt, applying the clay and having the proportions grow, or some combination of both that created the perfect storm. All good. First Steps. Board 2 : Laying down Clay First This was great because it was more familiar to figure drawing and allowed me to really figure out the proportions of the figure before carving away and adding clay. I think these boards are probably a bit small. I may need to work larger so I don't feel cramped. Board 3 : David's Lips I picked up a set of cast facial features of David, and started with the lips.

I definitely see the benefit of having them to help work through some skill building without getting too precious
