I got my hands on some "used" waterbased clay. One was sliky smooth, the other one quite sandy. Both of them were mixed in the box, so I just didnt care and grabbed both clays and put them together. That is where the differences in the texture came from. Although I still see lots of mistakes, I am for once quite happy with the results.

I did not like the free handling, so i sculpted directly on my working table.

Here is my second attemp. Before even starting modelling, i wanted to cast the figure, that is why i altered the pose a little to get rid of all the negativ space. This would make the mold making process easier, but it has cost quite some loosing of the original gesture. The next problem i did not forecast was the pose itself. Because the way she is standing and all the hair, i stuggled with the basic forms because almost all parts were somehow hidden beneath other parts in the reference pictures. While doing the hair, i lost patience and stopped holding to the reference. Originally, i wanted to finish the sculpture with the tertial forms (was it called that way?) and details, but i struggle with that in this scale aswell. The whole sculpture is about 36cm (~14,2 inches?). I still do not know if i want to cast this thing, because i am not super happy about how it turned out in the end. Maybe i will try to get de details refined (hair, face, hands, feet) and cast it, maybe i won't. Next one will be bigger size for sure.

Seeing some slow improvement to the figures i posted few month ago. Must keep on modelling more often, I struggle with discipline for some time...

Here are my first attempts capturing gesture using a wire skeleton. The first one was made from imagination. I made the face too big unfortunatelly. Second one is based on the free stock images provided. I see not correctly - finished gesture and some missing clay. I ran out of clay. Will leave them as they are. On the next figures, I will see where to focus more on by that (hopefully).
