Clay Gal

I figured it out. If I sculpt something from a photo, it takes forever because I am trying to get it to look very much like the original subject. I just spend too much time on it and get bored.

But if I create from my imagination, it always looks like it should. So, last night I decided to try an original creation. I had no idea setting out what it would be, but as I finished a foot, I thought it looked like a female's boot. So from there, I just went with the flow. And below, you can see the results: Clay Gal!

One lump of clay and 2 hours later, there she was.

I think I did better on the proportions this time. Like I said before, it has been over 12 years since I sculpted anything, so I am a bit rusty. But I am happy with the results. I think I am most pleased about the fact that she can stand up and balance with no need of support. I think I got it right!

Sadly, to make this possible, Clay Guy had to be harvested.

Sorry Moby.

I'd like to have given her more detail, but maybe I can work that in on the next one.
