Hello there, I have not forgotten this course at all! I have been trying to finish my Creature Concept Art in 3D mentorship that I can only do this study every few hour every day. I really enjoyed doing bas relief sculpture and thought it would be great if I did a cat portrait as well. Here is the first attempt and the recent one after working on it and improving again. I think I grasped the theory of bas relief, feels like straightforward at first but it's easy to make it look "flat". Looking forward to practice more of these!

I love that the premium lessons I watched so far can be applied to many type of sculpting style and works, instead of only following one way of doing it. I've always been interested in more modern commercial sculpture like you find in games in Asia, so I thought I'd give the opportunity to utilize the space to share my progress and my work :) Will share more later on! I can feel the improvement before and after taking the premium courses. The last image was when before I took the premium course, different character but the same IP.

Hello Andrew, I think building the secondary form slowly really takes a lot of my time so I thought I'd take it slow and show progress in this comment section as I go!! Here's my progress so far. Really love the assignment so far, so glad I decided to take on this course!

Slowly building up the sculpture slowly, and I thought I'd share my progress so far with the others who took this class!! I will update some progress and adjustments if there is any

Hello, I tried to apply to keep the figure more thin and I think it allows me to focus more on the "movement of gesture" and the rhythm if that makes sense. I think it's a bad habit of mine and I'm constantly working on it is that I always wanted to go in and make it look detailed first without thinking of gesture. I think I am ready to move onto the next lesson which is doing it from master studies. Also the reference is from photo model book reference I bought that allows me to see from many angles.

Hello, I just made another gesture study with oil-based clay that is cheaper but similar to chavant clay as it is super hard to find chavant clay in my country. You can only get that imported at very high price. Anyway, I tried 0.6 mm diameter wire, I think I kind of get a hang out it. Would do more of these again for my warmups!

Hello, this is my first try to do gesture studies with clay while following the steps provided. This is quite small one, 0.5 inches = 1 cranial unit. I was waiting for my smaller diameter wire to arrive but I thought I would try to get the feel of the clay first with what I have, since I ran out of smaller diameter wires. I am the type who will learn more as I practice, so I think this smaller gesture study help me where to improve or where to push - to get the overall feeling of the piece without bigger commitment. So it does feel like solving problems in achievable manner. Additionally, it's fun to think of the story while doing this, like I was imagine this pose was like blowing a kiss :) Would love to do more as I go on the next video.

Hello, so far I'm enjoying the assignments!! Decided to attach a hand armature to the wired armature I did before - and oh gosh it was super difficult. The left hand from the photo was my first attempt and the right one was my second attempt. Took me a while to get used to it, but so far been a valuable experience!! Can't wait to try the next assignment - gesture one!

Hello, I decided to practice and make more wired armature, following the basic one and the modified human wired armature. For the "B" armature, I think I got carried away switching back and forth between this video and the previous video that I completely had forgotten to do the other arm haha. But I can always make a new one! More practice :) I think I got a bit overwhelmed in the beginning that I have to do it multiple times to remember. But overall, love lesson in this one!

Hi, first post for the 5$ Sculpture assignment! I used school-grade plasticine that is found at local store (around 1.5$ in my country), and a modified old ballpoint pen with a wire loop on top for the tool. Mostly I focused on the overall gesture and form from all angles- although I realized eventually that the legs are too short. But I'm proud of what I'm making! Can't want to follow the next lesson!
