3+ hours. Felt fast initially then it felt like wack a mole with the fine features, technique or harder clay? I cheated and used some recycled Chavant I had could have been hard, but I want harder. Paper clip and pencil and tried flaming it once. Will be searching for harder clay or grogless water based. Not to blame the tools but some clay just doest take detailslike eyelashes at this scale.

yeah you might try a couple different types of clay to see what you like. Each type of clay will have advantages and disadvantages.

After seeing that most of your critiques were on the documentation, I decided to re-upload my sculpture here after making lighting and background adjustments. No more kitty.

Well done everyone who entered, congratulations to the fellow winners, and thank you Andrew for the appreciation and comments. I watched a couple of the follow alongs and found the advice to focus on contours really helpful. If anyone is looking for a silver bullet, that made this second sculpture of mine a huge improvement on my first one. Happy sculpting everyone!

Yeah... camera! I think many of the images (including mine) were taken with a phone camera, which, as you say, distorts horribly! For my normal sculptural work, I use a mid-range DSLR with a 50mm lens, so it forces me to back away a bit, and reduce the distortion.
•
4yr
Yes that is a good point! I think most phone cameras are ok now if you have the right lighting and set up but obviously a better camera will make a difference.
