added comment in$5 Sculpture Challenge Demo
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.
