Journal Entry Tried out some sculpting to familiarize myself with some cheap modelling clay. Kind of like a "taste test" for me as I was contemplating joining the figure sculpting course here by Andrew Joseph Keith. I did enjoy quite a lot of the process even without using any references or any videos to guide me. I did face some issues, like not using any references or having any support structure within the clay. (I ended up stuffing a butter spreader into the clay piece as a makeshift armature as I was getting tired holding the clay and deforming it with every addition of new clay) I thoroughly had a lot of fun doing this though! This little sampler of mine eventually convinced me to purchase the premium course to learn proper, as the tactile response was actually very engaging and meditative for me. This also showed me the "Resolution" of my knowledge on anatomy too. As the clay I used was the cheap stuff meant for Kid's arts & Craft. It was really crumbly and it had a hard time to sticking to itself, which I found odd. I decided to purchase some Non-drying Modelling clay from VanAken. Really curious to feel the difference.
