It’s time for you to put clay on your armature! This lesson introduces you to the additive sculpture method and walks you through how to approach the early stages of your sculpt. You’ll also learn about the importance of keeping gesture, form, and the likeness of your reference in mind throughout all stages of the sculpting process.
You'll be creating a thin figure with all of its primary forms and hints of secondary forms and be sure to include the centerline and guidelines. You can make your sculpture any size you want, but I would suggest sticking between a height of 10 to 18 inches.
If you wish to proceed with adding the secondary forms as shown in the next video (Building Secondary Forms), then be sure to take progress pictures to show the completion of the primary forms before moving on. I will be doing an assignment video for this episode, so if you'd like me to critique your primary AND secondary forms, please post your assignment here by March 23rd!
