The inside scoop is this: I have posted WIP shots on "the book" for days with no problem. These shots included a penis and breasts. As soon as I painted it in skin tones, it became pornography.There ya go, lesson learned!So, here is the finished piece.

I worked up to the last few minutes to get things finished so I thought I would just give you a look at my pieces for the show before we get back to work on sculpting.That moment when day meets night in one fleeting embrace: "TWILIGHT"My piece for the signature gallery which won both an Art's Choice and a Collector's Choice Award."NEMEAN" will be heading off the the Susan Quinlan Museum in California today."THE MORRIGAN"I made our hosts a little gift in appreciation of all they do to support the art doll world.And last, the twins: my awards from the show. These mean so much to me because the are awarded by my fellow artists and collectors, not a few judges with an agenda.I hope you all have a great day of sculpting. We will get back to work here in the next couple of days!Mark

Conditioned clay is applied to the skull to a thickness of about 1/8" thick. The eye sockets are kept open at this point and the main features are roughed-in.

The features are refined slightly as the upper lip is attached.

The lower lip is attached, features are refined a bit more and beads are dropped into the eye sockets.

Using photos, the features are shaped and refined. You will get a better result by working all the features at once rather than concentrating on refining just one feature at a time.

Once the face is final shaped, the teeth are shaped in the mouth.Have a great day of sculpting!Mark

The figure is covered with a layer of conditioned clay about 1/4" thick.

The clay is applied in large pieces and compressed onto the armature.

A central dividing line is laid into the figure on both the front and the back.

The torso is divided starting with a line from shoulder to shoulder which will become the collar bone. The second mark is one head height down from the collarbone. This will be about the location of the base of the sternum. The next mark will be a head height lower and will denote the waist. The last head height will end at the front of the crotch ( the back side will be slightly lower).

Depressions are made from the sternum to the side of the body even with the waist mark. This is the bottom of the rib cage. A depression is created from the crotch to the side of the body slightly lower than the sternum/hip marker. This is the leg fold.

The armpit is formed by pressing below the armature wire for the arm. This runs from the armpit to the small of the back along the latisimus muscles in the back and from the armpit toward the sternum in the front along the base of the pectoral muscles.

The back is completed by depressing a line down the spine and between the buttocks. This depression will stop below the small of the back then start again after it passes over the sacrum or the base of the spine.

The main fat, muscle, and bone structures are defined with the sculpting tool.


Next we will do the smoothing of the muscles after adding the head.Thanks for joining me, have a great sculpting day!Mark
