They are good. A lot of personality. Maybe make your darks a bit darker.

Great drawings. I try to fill a sketch book every month, depending on the size of sketch book. I find it very useful.

Thanks. Thats true. Im sure you will gain mileage.

I like your drawings. Especially the flower and the man. A lot of atmosphere. I wouldn’t worry about what materials you use. Just use what you feel comfortable using.

Hello. Any one willing to provide feedback would be greatly appreciated. The first sketch is a screenshot of Marshal I captured from the podcast. The second is from a photo of Skip James. Both were drawn with a Derwent Graphic 6B and a kneaded eraser to bring out some of the highlights.

Hi Philip, congrats on your first attempt, getting stuck in, with hands on clay time is the way to progress and have fun too -I love sculpting :) The head has a reputation for being the hardest thing to tackle, but it's a worthwhile pursuit. To my eye this head looks a bit narrow, it could use a bit more bulk at the back/sides of the cranium, this will help bring those ears out, which should be visible looking a front view. How are you getting on, have you made another? If you have enough clay I would suggest starting a new head sculpt, then you can compare the 2nd side by side to the first and see how much you've improved. I'm rusty with water based clay but a little tip would be not to fight the clay, it has a pace, soft and quick for the initial build up then as it dries a bit the finer detailing can come in. If it's the air dry style packets (such as DAS brand) they have a shorter working time and in my opinion feel quite different to say a bag of pottery (modelling clay), I also think they're more prone to cracking. Keep going and try all the clay types over time.... they all have the own quirks, you'll find one you like.

Hi TeaMonster. Thank you so much for the feedback. I agree the head does look narrow. I drawings of heads often look too narrow as well. I have made another yet. I bought some Chavant plasteline, which arrived today. I will have a go of that over the weekend. Thanks again.

Hello This is my first attempt at sculpting the head. It would be great to have feedback on proportions. I used air dry clay. I think I’ll use oil based clay next time, as I got dust everywhere.

Apologies if this made you spit out whatever you were eating at the moment. I am wondering what I could do to fix the lighting?

It’s great. It has a gross body horror vibe.

Hello this project took me a month to come up with. It’s an underwater gollum protecting the honor of a jelly fish lasso from those helpless romantic humans. Something is off with the final painting, but I don’t know exactly what? Any criticism is welcome.

I really like. It’s got a classic vintage look. Maybe it is the composition that is off. When I first looked at the picture, it was difficult to understand what is happening. Perhaps do something to differentiate between the different objects in the picture. Great work. Keep on doing this kind of genre.

My favourite is the man with the black hair and moustache. Nice clean lines. Well done!
Philip Oz
That’s really fun. Well done!
