Just a Quick Update

Just a quick hit-and-run update. These are actually pictures of my progress from last night because I was too tired when I finished sculpting to do a posting. I didn't do much substantive work: I continued raking the torso and legs first with a serrated loop then with a wire-wrapped loop so that I had roughed it up the surface completely. I then started smoothing the surface down with a wire loop (again favoring the right side (her left), but I only did part of the torso and upper leg before I got too tired.

I didn't touch the face last night, so she still looks like a stroke victim, due to the fact that her right eye (our left) is positioned wrong. I wasn't in the mood for detail work last night, not to mention the fact that I'd had a couple of glasses of wine with dinner. One thing I've learned is that alcohol and sculpting do not mix, but I felt I was pretty safe doing some surface raking and smoothing. Tonight I'll look at doing some more on the face.

I periodically attach the arms just to check the lines, but I am leaving them off most of the time now. Once I do work on the hands, it will become hard to get the arms off, so I want to get the torso pretty solid before I put the arms on and start really working on them heavily.

Here's what I ended up with
