The sculpted trousers

[garyjd]

Sorry there's not much to show on these. Other than refining a few of the folds I have to add some fringe down the outer sides of the legs.What's interesting is that the buckskin trousers are tailored similiar to period trousers. The waist on the trousers back then were even with the navel instead of lower down on the hips.

Gary,
this is a great series you have, and you make the obvious seem achievable to even beginning sculptors!

Thanks for sharing

Cheers

Great work, wish I could sculpt half as good as you.

Guys, Thanks. I appreciate the kind words. I would have added more pictures but time did not allow me to document the trousers more in depth. The buckskin coat will see a lot more coverage although I'm not doing this as an sbs per se. I'm also trying to be mindful of the limited free space Blogger allows for pictures.

Roc, It's only as hard as you make it. It's probably best to start with simple conversions like changing an arm or leg. You will see improvements over time. I however feel the same way about figure painting. One day I'll learn. ~Gary

Gary thanks for the advice, but I still think you have to have inborn talent in order to create sculptures.
As far as painting goes, if you can sculpt you can paint.
