I used a different 3D model of a skull that looks a bit different. The oil clay I am using is more granular and too sticky than chavant NSP (a bit expensive) From the beginning I've wrapped the neck with too much paper, so made it too large.
@brandonstudio
Great job! I feel the outer edge of the eye socket looks too far forward, needs to wrap around toward the back more and the bridge of the nose looks too long. However I’m basing that on a European average skull of course. And each skull is unique, so I have no idea what your ref looks like. Otherwise, as I said, great job!

Great job! I'm not sure what the skull reference looked like but it looks like some of the transitions between the forms (the nose to the cheekbones to the mouth for example) could use some more attention. the cylinder of the mouth also might be a little wide from the front view. its looking great from above! Keep it up!

Waw, the exercice with the photo is spectacular on how cool and worm colors work!

It would have been great to have zoom of how she use the tool on the sculpture and how she manipulate volumes.

Hey @Andrew Joseph Keith , The armature and the sculpture with clay:
Andrew Joseph Keith
Looking good! It feels like it might be getting a little too bulky so you might try thinning the torso and hips down a bit. Keep it up!

Thanks Joseph, I am enjoying this course :) I know that building the body is not the purpose of this video, but is it possible to have a view from your standpoint? (might be camera at your fronthead?) It would be great to see the size of the clay chunks you're picking up, how you're manipulating them and where your placing them in the body. Keep it up Joseph!
Andrew Joseph Keith
Yes that is something that is tricky to show when sculpting for a camera because it’s easy to forget that the angle I’m seeing is not the angle the camera sees. In the future I may invest in some type of wearable camera for demos but I haven’t been able to do that yet.

Thanks Andrew! With an armature stand tied to a finished sculpture, how it is detatched? We never see the armature stands in finished exposed works.

For this one I would make a mold and have the rod coming at the seam of the mold and then fill it once the mold is finished to cast it in another material.
Rob Whicker
I believe it is cut off with bolt cutters before the piece gets molded to be cast in bronze etc.
