I am taking a life sculpture class with live models. We work in clay. Next, we will make a plaster mold. I am planning to make the sculpture in cement so I can put it in the back yard.
This was much more difficult than I expected because the instructor insisted the sculpture be life size and as realistic as possible. I like the result but could have worked on it more if there had not been a deadline. Even looking at the photos now I see things I could have improved. However, I was pleased because the model liked it and asked to photograph it for her portfolio. This is really fun and I am learning a lot: eyes are difficult, the mouth is difficult, the nose is difficult and don't even ask about the cheeks. Oh well.... next we do the torso of a male model. Moe fun.
