Adding detail
I’m starting to fine tune the sculpture now and this picture shows how the arms, face and torso are starting to take shape. This is the most time consuming stage for sculpting, at least for me, and really takes a lot of concentration.
At this stage in the game, my plans still are to finish sculpting the upper body and then bake the sculpture. I may bake different body parts with a heat gun (like the arms by themselves) so that I don’t ruin my hard work when I work on other areas of the sculpture. I like to hold the sculpture with my free hand when I am sculpting so it is easy to accidentally grab and mess up an area that I had previously spent a lot of time on. To better explain what I am taking about, I will be sure to post a picture if I decide to bake individual body parts with the heat gun
If you compare this picture with the last post you can start to see how the sculpture is changing. With each future post you should now start getting a taste of what the final product is going to look like.
