Here are two wax sculptures I made this week.

Both are based on memory of types of people.

I plan on making some more and use these wax sculpts as reference and preparation for some upcoming paintings.

To give sculpting with super sculpey a try I sculpted this little creature. I didn’t start from a plan, just started working on it to get comfortable to the sculpey medium. I’m not happy with the end result, but for a first try I guess it’s still ok…

Since the super sculpey is quite soft I built a armature for it first and mounted that on a wooden plank. Still working on it was quite annoying because it kept twisting and half collapsing as I was trying to built it.  To prevent this I aplied a first “layer” of sculpey around the armature and baked that. That gave me a strong base to work on. Then I added further details of the creature and baked it again.

The unpainted sculpture.

I’ve been sculpting lately, It’s not really finished, but here’s the result.
