yay pictures!

This guy was built up on a lump of foil for bulking him out/basic shape. A flat layer of clay goes on and then balls of clay for the eyes and then everything else was built up using those as the key feature to keep everything as symmetrical as possible, and then smoothed out with sculpting tools. 

I don’t use anything fancy! In fact, it’s kind of the opposite. I make due with whatever i have that is a good shape for what I need — screwdrivers, pins, knives, paintbrushes, etc. I have a set of really cheap wooden clay tools that I got at the local A.C. Moore store, but that’s pretty much it! 

I should really get back into sculpture…

But then I remember I suck at it

Whatever I was one of two people in my sculpture option that didn’t make the same tiger head as everyone else
