A bit more progess...

I think I'm more comfortable with the full body part now. The first cuts were the hardest to figure out, but it got progressively easier from there on. It's kind of like putting a puzzle together by subtracting the pieces. I guess clay sculpture would be the opposite. The barrel chest & chubby features will leave some room for detailing later. I'm going to leave the body as it is for awhile, & concentrate on roughing out the face. Then some work on the headpiece to make it proportional to the roughed out face. I also left room for some kind of hair design on the back.

I think I'm starting to get it. Just rough it all out gradually, then detail it, change it, sculp and mold the features as you go. Then add more detail. At least that's the plan...

AA-

Don't know if I'm just odd, spaced out on asomnia or waiting for my pain pills to kick in( screwed back again) but I think it looks "super bitchen" just the way it is. For some reason I "really dig" tikis and art that are halfway finished or are in the works.

Self tought artist myself(from the school of no school) but is there a school of artists or a scene from the past that did 1/2 way art?
