SCULPTING 101 STEP BY STEP

[garyjd]

Here is the left arm. There is a very thin layer of vaseline on the area where the arm will be positioned. This will create a barrier between the body and the arm and will insure a clean fit. I used a spot of superglue to hold the rod in place while it is being worked on.

The arm following the first layer of Sculpey. I will add a little more material to fill out the arm. I'm only concerned with getting the arm roughed in as there is no need to detail the musculature.

 

[garyjd]

Before positioning the right arm, the left will be baked.

 

[garyjd]

The back right side. As the right arm will be raised I added a little more to the right upper shoulder area with putty.

I really appreciate your kind words, I'm glad you're enjoying the sbs.

As for a book, aside from the sculpting, I do not fancy myself much of a writer. I'm also not looking to be a celebrity in the miniature hobby. I enjoy sharing what I do and find it very rewarding.~Gary

Your skills are only surpassed by your humility, gary. Thanks for your effort here. It has been truly helpful in my first figure sculpt.

Brian, Thank you again. Though I have far from mastered the art of sculpting, I take pride in being humble with my efforts and ability thus far. I likewise admire folks that are humble verses those that wear their egos on their sleeve, which is a turn off.~Gary
