Arm placement and hand position make a difference

 I've re-attached one of the hollowed out arms. The hand is roughed into place. The new placement of the arm is more graceful and in tune with the attitude of the sculpt.

The whole body must be in agreement, or the figure will simply look wrong or awkward - so I often revise as I'm working and will change the placement of the body in order to better tell the story, emotion or intent.

  1. Love following your progress. Why is the second photo of her white?
    I agree the whole look, painted or constructed, needs to work together and that any misstep shows immediately. Same with drawing the same width on a band of color. Amazing how sensitive our eyes are. And how oblivious they can be at other times.
