Here’s a step by step guide on how to make your own adjustable stands for wire armatures!

Looking good! you might bend the wire of the hips down a little bit to make the waist a bit thinner and lengthen the legs just a bit (though this may not be necessary if you're sculpting a thicker model with shorter legs) also the loop of the head might be a little large so you might twist it around once more to make the loop a tiny bit smaller. Keep it up! the armature and stand look solid so I'm excited to see what you do with it!
