Nicely done! great to see so many block ins. For these block ins you might consider keeping the head a bit thinner. Remember that you want room to add clay to the sides. the thinness of the necks look good. Keep it up! I hope to see more soon!

Thanks for the feedback! Even though Bodem was later revised to the axe shape, it was still interesting to consider the method you outlined initially with the framework.
I definitely need to practice the principles of these block-ins more regularly. When I've tried 'speed sculpting', it's so easy to fly off the path early on. Particularly with digital - starting with a default sphere and limitless tools has often been a one way ticket to some seriously messed up blob faces.

yeah that structure underneath can make all the difference when it comes to the portrait.
