Hello Pongsatorn,

Sergey Zlobov had an excellent how to on this website of how to sculpt a horse. I could not find this looking through the back pages however.

He started by making a profile cutout of the shape of the horse's body. If you make two of these identical and then attach them together with pins (so it can be disassembeld and reassembled) then you can sculpt the body onto each side as separate parts. He also made a profile of the legs to help keep them to consistent size.

Hopefully, somebody here can giude you to the original article.

Cheers!!

Mike

Hi Pongsatorn..here is a link to one of Sergey's threads that Mike kindly mentioned, there is some reference to the pegged horse half (pictured) and no doubt you'll be able to get some clues to help you on your way.
