@Jeremy Vickery Thank you for the feedback on the material studies! I really appreciate it, I'm gonna try doing another set of studies and see if I can add in the suggestions you made.

A really fun assignment! I'll definitely have to practice more. Also I loved this little character. His eyes are kinda unhinged and I felt like I was probably making the same face while doing the reflections in the metal haha.

I love these. This character is so awesome.

Somehow I missed that there was an assignment until I got a proko email. This was the first time I used the armature stand, and the threaded rod and I didn't get along. It ended up being too long and I wasn't able to move the spine, so I wasn't able to get as much gesture as I wanted.
I wasn't going to submit anything because I wasn't happy with it. But the ghosts of instructors past started haunting me to remind me that submitting something is better than submitting nothing at all.

Yes absolutely its better to submit something than nothing! It’s coming great! The stand looks good. I’d just keep going and build in the “safe areas” where you know there needs to be more clay like between the rib cage and pelvis.

I tried to do this absolutely ridiculous pose based off a Loomis gesture. I think I probably could have pushed the gesture farther, but I didn't realize that until I had the photos in front of me. It was fun to try and figure out nonetheless.

Wow that’s a crazy pose! Yeah I have the same thing where I can’t see some of the mistakes until I take a picture or video and then I’m like “Is that what it looks like?”

Even though I do figure drawing, I had some trouble trying to ignore the details. I didn't intend for them to be smoothed at all but I was working in a warm room so they smoothed some just from handling them. I'm open to any suggestions of things to work on in future gestures.

I did ones at 6, 9, and 12 inches. I imagine the 6 inch one would have been easier with a thinner wire, but I only have this. I used the sharpie to mark the wire with the measurements, and that helped a lot while figuring out the process.

Great job!

First armatures I’ve ever made. Six, nine, and twelve inches. I’m looking forward to gesture sculpting!

Hey everyone,
I'm doing the figure sculpting class to hopefully improve my drawing with a better understanding of form. It's a lot of fun so far, even though it feels like I'll have clay under my fingernails for the rest of eternity.
I had already bought monster clay before the 5$ challenge was posted, but aside from that I only used aluminum foil and paperclips.
The texture feels like marble, nicely done! I have the hard monster clay, found it a bit hard to work on!

Great first assignment! Yeah I’ve found that sculpting and drawing really play off one another in helping to understand the figure and represented in both 2D and 3D. Keep it up!
Lane - you should make and market your modified drawing board! I would buy one!
There is actually one like it called the Sketchboard Pro you might be interested in if you want a board. I love mine.
