Completed New in sculpting....please tell me your opinion

[silviug2009]

Hello guys.....this are the last two piece (1/32 scale) that was made by me... I pose them from diferent position, but i can't upload more picture than 5....so...
What can i say....i use FIMO....i still try to find a proper technique who is suited for me....i still try to find tricks and techniques who can my figure to look better.
I wait for your true opinion and an advice will be apreciated.
By the way....i start to be interested by sculpting from March, this year.

Looks nice, especially for that small scale.
I would suggest different color mix - light gray or green, it's much easier to see the volumes ?

 

[silviug2009]

Thank you pokrad....yes you're right....i saw myself on tutorials, light grey or green, like you said, are usually used for miniatures. And soon i start a new figures, i will try to use that color. I'm still in search of a good material (in my contry, you don't have many choices for polymeric paste)

You've certainly got a good imagination. You can load more than 5 images, you can only do 5 at a time. If you want to add images to replies, just use the "Go Advanced" button.

Thank's Carl....yes, my imagination is pretty good...i just hope that my hand will follow my imagination, otherwise....

If you have FIMO available, try mixing FIMO Soft white with FIMO Classic black.
You can get the gray color that way, and also get the mix that is softer than FIMO Classic but more durable than FIMO Soft...

I will remember that pokrad....i think this mix will be good when i will try to sculpt fingers, or other portion of body or armoure who are thinner...can you tell me please what are the proportion i need to mix (classic and soft)?. Anyway, thank's for your advice

 

[pokrad]

I work with bigger scales and like the clay to be softer, so I was mixing about 30% of black with 70% of white.
Smaller scales probably require harder mix- I suppose that the best way is to experiment and find mixing rate that fits your needs

You are off to a pretty good start. I can see things you need to work on but for first efforts they really do look pretty good.

Hi Jeff. Thanks for your opinion, and if you can suggest me one or two direction which I can follow, it will be very apreciated. Many thank's!
