SCULPTING 101, Step by step 1/16 figure

I then measure out and mark the location of the navel. The torso shape will be drilled out, glued and inserted into the copper wire that forms the spine.

I then score the bottom of the torso with a checker pattern to provide a little texture to give additional matterial something to hang onto.

 

[garyjd]

I drill out the torso a bit at a time inserting the piece to check agains the chart to insire the figure will not be to long or short in the torso.

Here's another view. This is about it for the basic armature. I will add the arms, neck, and head once I get the basic anatomy filled in.

Just do it. You will not be disappointed (just frustrated ).

Gary, really excellent information on setting out and making up the mannequin..I only wish I was so thorough in my own work.

Dave, I've said it before....get that putty out..as Bob said, you'll get frustrated, but it's a great adventure.

All the best.

Roy.

Gary,

You're doing an amazing job laying out the steps for anyone to be able to sculpt. Your systematic approach and attention to detail are top notch and probably not the norm. Being able to see each step of the process is fantastic for those of us who have never tried our hand at sculpting and for those who like to see how others do it. Your efforts are most appreciated. Looking forward to each step of the way.

Gary,

As i follow it closely it looks so easy. I know it isn't.
Roy and Bob say it. Get frustrated.
After Euro there must be enough inspiration to start something.

Thank you for all the kind words and taking the time to look through the thread. Every figure/bust I've done is a learning experience that has it's share of pitfalls and successes.~Gary

Hi Gary,
I must have been so labor intensive to get these steps up so unselfish, for us we to learn and enjoy. WOW! A unique quality and virtue of a true and great educator!

I am on cloud nine. Didn't realize the thread is from '05...Oh, well! It is just a compliment and it is never too late for that...Hector
