This is my first sculpt for this course. I recently attented a 5 hour workshop for model making using Chavant NSP but the tutor recommended Monster Clay for continuing my own exploration. The workshop was enough to get my interest, I've worked a little with Fimo before but like the idea that oil-based clays can be reworked, and taking casts for anything that I think worthy (or for experience). For this sculpt I used Monster Clay and didn't use the foil core as shown in the demo (as I was sure I wanted to reclaim the clay from a first attempt!). The clay was still quite soft from being heated a little to get it out of the tray, and I think this meant that the sculpt was too inclined to relax the pose as worked. I found it tricky to try and match the pose to the reference images, so need to work on that more. I decided to stop at this point, as I felt there were too many mistakes building up so will take another go.

Hey looking good for an early study for the course! Yeah finding the type of clay you prefer is a good thing and I prefer Chavant nsp medium to Monster clay but both are great and common clays for sculpting. Keep sculpting and I look forward to seeing your progress throughout the course!
