Sculpt this


Recently, I've been sculpting four different expressions of my mouth. I'm done for now. Can't move on until I get more input from my teacher on Tuesday.

In this fundamental sculpting class, we work with oil clay. Think of it as a very premium type of plasticine. We're using this as oppose to super sculpey (the kind concept artists use) because oil clay doesn't harden at all! But of course! The school is kind to us newbies! :O) In the first 10 weeks, we will be learning how to sculpt parts of our face - nose, eyes, ears and mouth. Sculpting helps us understand anatomy, specifically the folds of the different parts of our face we often take for granted. :O)
