Last time, I talked about the importance of master studies. Now let me show you how I do them.

I enjoy sculpting so much. I started taking premium courses while practicing with videos on YouTube. I want to do it consistently, so please criticize me. I love your class. It's all thanks to you. Thank you.

Hey this is great! Really nicely capturing the pose from the side view. I might work on looking for more curves and ins and outs from the front view. and perhaps trying to sculpt a bit thinner and laying in the anatomy of the figure with little pieces of clay to better study the figure. Keep up the great work I hope to see more soon!

I think you did a good job capturing the pose and the general proportions of the figure. Nice work.

I worked all day on this guy but I could not for the life of me figure out how to make him stand on his own. I destroyed a lot of detail trying to get him up right. That aside, it still was lots of fun.

yeah balancing is tricky for these little figures! Keep going! As far as critique the legs look to be too small compared to the torso but that might be the angle of the photo. Stick to the primary forms and silhouette outline! I hope to see more from you soon!

Here is my attempt using the Bridgeman sketch. This is a lot of fun. The drawing was so expressive that I thought it made it easier to imagine the 3D figure. This took about and hour. I used a very soft clay for this one which was an interesting experience. The softer clay was easy to work with but it was hard to support the figure. I think a larger figure would not have been able to support the weight of the clay without some drooping. I have sent for the Bridgman book to use as a reference.

Looks great! With regards to gesture and balance it feels like it is leaning too far back, like it would fall over backwards, so maybe try pushing it forward a little so the center of mass is over the feet from each angle. Keep it up!
