What you see his is the result of five minutes work from the hands of a child who's only experience with working with sculpting mediums is your usual modelling clay and school projects. I showed her how to sculpt a face once with conventional miniatures sculpting tools and techniques (as I know them) and then smoothed it over, handed her the tools and left the room with the simple instruction of, "Come get me when you are done". I didn't want to hover and run the risk of micro-managing her or making her nervous.
I think she did an amazing job for a first go.
The next thing I will show her is how to construct an armature and bulk out the body form.

Great work, Nim! When I 1st looked at it, I imagined a piece of sculpture to hang on a palace wall.
ReplyDeleteA chip off the ole block, Eli! It's great that you encourage your daughter without interfering with her creative process, and I'm sure her talent will flourish.
