Hi everyone, here's hoping I squeak in on time. There's loads left to do/change but for last minute rush, I'll call it done. Almost chickened out of posting but where's the fun in that. Here to learn after all. Thanks to all at Proko for running these comps. Demon Prince- 'Silver Tongue' -Super sculpey 9.5 inches tall

My first try was the same George Bridgman. I think the hips are too wide and he's a bit on the short side. I like this exercise.

I chose a drawing from George Bridgemans Complete Guide To Drawing From Life, and made the sculpture in one sitting. It took me 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Hey all this is one of the hand/arm studies I’ve been working on over the last few days, let me know what everyone thinks! I still need practice with the details in the hands but practice does make perfect!

Adding hands to an existing armature and some separate hands. The first one (red wire) was eyeballed (holding out over my hand) then the next I tried hard to follow along, last one the fingers came out short, I must have over twisted them. I must admit I found the measurements confusing so I drew myself a diagram to try and get it right.

TOOL TIME! I wanted to mention some of the tools and tips I use and have made over the years, maybe it's helpful....?.... Make light work of cutting that new block of Chavant clay, with a wire cutter, I was surprised how easy this was over trying blades.

More Gesture Studies... These assignment were to capture the gesture of a pose working from a single drawing, approx 1 hour task although I went over for sure.... This was actually the first one I did. I followed along with the tutorial, later realised we're to pick our own reference. I like this pose though. Based on a George Bridgman p29 'Bridgman's complete guide to drawing from life' (isbn 978-1-4549-2653-5) -I just got this book I love his style. From the front I think it's a bit wide at the hips, and overall maybe a bit short and stocky, also I didn't get it to balance well.
