Looking good already. Thanks for the idea on how to transfer a 2D darwing to a plaque. I have been temptd to have a go. My wife collects Wedgwood plaques by great sculptors like Flaxman. I have always thought they would look great painted and I have always wanted to have a go. Here is their Nelson.

Good work Serhan. Concentrate on making things subtle and you will have a winner.

Decide early about things you want to sculpt, or make the paint do, if that makes sense.

I was only know about the existence of Flats before feel ready to try.. Are there any internet site about flat figure modeling? I do not know what is common scale in flat world for example. I will lay my hands on this case after this.

Please do start flats Mr.Fraser. It was big pleasure that whole periode while working on it and I did not understood how time passed until Friday..

Thanks for commercial example from famous brand and sculptor name too.

Cheers,
Serhan.

Thank you Blind Pew. I will keep in mind your suggestion. Are there any internet sites for more information about Flats?

I temporarly put it in frame, I will find nicer frame later.

Cheers,
Serhan.

I am sure the guys will be able to signpost you to various websites

For inspiration, I suggest you have a look at works of Vitalij Birzul, Russian sculptor who in my opinion produces best flat works I have ever seen. Its probably equally as inspiring as it is depressing because such skill is out of this world

Try Steve Lloyd's excellent site Flat Tin Figures, Gary Dombrowski's blog and my website Rich Odell. Great to see someone else experimenting with flat sculpting, its a hard discipline to master (but a very rewarding once you get the hang of it). Brilliant first sculpt Serhan

I was unaware of Flaxmans work, many thanks for sharing that reference his work is an inspiration. Do consider trying a relief sculpt, we need more people to revitalise this area of sculpture.
