started a sculpt

This is going to take a lot of time, because it's a lot of clay so you have to massage it all the way around when you change something (or you end up with one side and go yeahhh!!! and then the other parts are all a mess!) I just blocked in basic shapes. This is based on an ortho and a side view. I figured I should start doing stuff like that anyways to get used to working that way (as well as from life). A lot of good work comes from slow, persistence and you get frustrated a lot but I think that the joy is in the learning along the way. I mean, this could turn out to be a big hunk of *deleted* but as long as I learn a lot, I think it will be worthwhile. And hey, this is FUN stuff AND it's from reference (so grounded in reality)! Oh yeah, and this is my kitchen (the background), which I've turned into my sculpt studio when I'm not using mirrors to work from life, etc.
