My three armatures - i accidentally measured the one's legs as two instead of three units long, so i figure he'll just have to be an ogre or dwarf or similarly reduced-leg character :D It was actually fairly hard to source the aluminum wire; had to settle for the bonsai stuff - which seems to work the same way.

My second sculpture (since I was a kid), loved it! Used a turning wheel i had lying around, a safety pin, knife and a loop tool i made from some wire and a takeout chopstick

I decided to do a drawing to keep things clean... I also skipped the auricularis muscles because they overlap too much with the temporalis.

heres my progress on Arnold shwarzenegger

Hello, this is my first try to do gesture studies with clay while following the steps provided. This is quite small one, 0.5 inches = 1 cranial unit. I was waiting for my smaller diameter wire to arrive but I thought I would try to get the feel of the clay first with what I have, since I ran out of smaller diameter wires. I am the type who will learn more as I practice, so I think this smaller gesture study help me where to improve or where to push - to get the overall feeling of the piece without bigger commitment. So it does feel like solving problems in achievable manner. Additionally, it's fun to think of the story while doing this, like I was imagine this pose was like blowing a kiss :) Would love to do more as I go on the next video.

Hi. Sorry, I’m somewhat confused as to the measuring of the spine when adding the loop. Half a unit down, two units for the rib cage, and another two units to complete lumbar section (4.5 units all together). Isn’t that kinda long? The straight line version is 3.5 units long. Or am I misunderstanding the instructions? Thanks.
