So, yeah... I don't get out much. I'm not really known for painting the town red these days. So, Saturday night usually finds me the last one awake in my house, either sculpting, reading, or working on my computer, sometimes doing some of both. Tonight was sculpting, and now a little bit of computer time.
I managed to get most of the torso and legs smoothed out. Not completely, but close. I should have stuck withe just the serrated loop, as the wire-wrapped loop gouged a little too deeply, but it's not a big deal, just created a little extra work for myself. I also had to re-shape her right breast (the one on our left) because I gave it a lower attachment below the ribcage, which is clearly wrong, though it didn't look wrong until I actually started to refine the shape of the upper abdomen and define the depression caused by the rib cage.
I also spent a little time on her face. I can't do small faces like this one in one go like some sculptors can. I have to revisit them a lot. I work on the face until I hit a point of diminishing returns where I'm not improving things anymore, then I move on to something. I actually spent quite a bit more time on the face than you would realize from looking at the pictures below. I kept lowering the left eye, reshaping it, and finding it still was higher than the right. I think I finally got the height of them both about right, but the shape of both eyes still needs a lot of work.
I also just realized from looking at the pictures that her nose is a bit to wide. Oh, well.
