My First Clay Sculpture

Let me preface this by saying that I've never sculpted anything in my life, so go easy on me! This is something that I've been interested in for a long time but have never actually taken the time to learn.

I'm hoping that I can look back on this in a couple of years with a giggle!

I have no idea what this guy is supposed to be. Just made it up out of my head. I definitely learned some lessons working on this head, and will apply them to my next attempt.

For one, I need reference material or a mirror! Once you start trying to sculpt with no experience, you really begin to realize that you have no idea how one feature of the subject merges into the other.

I have a friend who is a master sculptor and has worked in the toy industry for years. He has offered to teach me before but I haven't really wanted to impose myself. Maybe I will give it a shot, and give him a call!
