SCULPTING 101 STEP BY STEP

Here the placket and area where the undercut for the large fold in the front is indicated.

 

[garyjd]

Here I pressed the tool into the Sculpey and removed some of the Sculpey to begin shaping the fold.

 

[garyjd]

To give the placket area more of a scale thickness I decided to remove some of the Sculpey in that area.

The placket area.

Here I start to refine the major folds on the front of the shirt.

 

[garyjd]

Also note the angle of the trousers. It's subtle details like this that help to add realism to a figure.

 

[garyjd]

Here the small folds that go into the trousers are indicated.

Here the spatula and pointed tool are used to open up the fold.

Absolutely fantastic stuff. Gary.
Watching this figure come to life is first class study material.
A true sculpting masterclass!
Your SBS's where the reason why I joined this forum. (Since then I've found dozens of other reasons ) :lol:

Here are the wrinkles on the front of the shirt refined a little more. I'm going to add a few more wrinkles to the side of the shirt that will be exposed by the raised portion of the jacket.

 

[garyjd]

I start by placing a large piece of Sculpey that would form the main fold.

 

[garyjd]

I then start by using my spatula tool to define the shape of the fold.
