I can't know how to develope the gesture study for specific sculpture. plz help me
Andrew Joseph Keith
I would grab some references of gestural drawings or paintings of children that push the gesture. Norman Rockwell comes to mind as he pushes the gesture and expression in his paintings and you might be able to apply that to your sculptures if you do some studies from him. There's probably many other great examples you could learn from. You're doing good!

Nicely done! the body of the figure is looking great! the feet and hands could use some work so I might consider the Hand sculpting course which should help with those. I'm so impressed you are one of the hardest working students and I know the hard work is paying off because your skills are improving each sculpt so keep going!

Nicely done! I might soften the transition from the face to the hair. Right now it looks a bit like a wig. nicely done on the expression. keep it up!

Wow these are getting better every time! Great expression in this one! The only thing that stands out is that the face might be a bit flat and it might round off a bit more from the middle of the face to the front of the cheeks then to the side plane of the face. It's hard to be sure though from these references. What you might do is try to observe children or babies from above and then look at your sculptures from above and make sure that the shapes are matching. Keep it up!

Really nice! I love what I'm seeing on the back anatomy and the structured set up before adding the muscles. The front anatomy looks like it could use a little work. I would look for gesture or rhythms that connect the muscles and how they wrap around the body. For example the muscles around the knee are more varied and the gesture looks a bit stiff in from the front. Really great sculpt and I can telly you really are working hard to apply the lessons which is something I love to see so keep it up!

Andrew here is my completed assignment for the life size ear study. I used my own ear as a reference. Please critique. Thank you.
Andrew Joseph Keith
Hey nicely done! something that comes to mind is trying to remove flat areas (like those around the ear lobe) there are very few actually flat areas in the body so think of these forms as pillows or cushions that have rounded form. also try to vary the transitions between the forms. Keep it up!

used polymer clay co thats what i had handy

Nicely done! Something I would recommend is trying to do a study of the eye socket from a skull reference. This eye feels like it's lacking a little of that structure around the eye. really good that your practicing and every sculpt will help you improve so keep it up!

Andrew here is my latest study, "larger than life mouth sculpture" using Chavant Medium NSP clay. I liked this friend's mouth because he didn't have a perfectly symmetrical shape making it more interesting. Please critique. Thank you. Now...time to move on and try to figure out how to sculpt an ear.
Andrew Joseph Keith
Nicely done! great job including the references that really helps. you mentioned the asymmetry and I'd actually like to see more gesture in the lines that make up the forms like the nasolabial crease which isn't a straight line but has a lot of curve to it. the nose also might need to come down just a bit on your sculpt. It's a great study and I look forward to seeing the ear!

I attached a Loomis head, a rib cage and a pelvis to this armature. I used polymer clay for durability. I am wondering whether the head is a bit large.
Andrew Joseph Keith
Hey this is great! Idk why I didn't see it earlier but it must have slipped past my notifications. really nicely done Scott! Head might be a bit large and the rib cage a bit small but the basic shapes are there.
@simon99swanson
Here is my rib cage! I would love any critiques you could give. I am wondering if the top plane is big enough, and if the sternum length is the right length.
Andrew Joseph Keith
wow really nicely done! nothing stands out as being incorrect in the design. Of course people can have differently shaped rib cages from thin to stocky but as a generalization I think you're spot on and I can see you were working hard on accuracy. Keep it up!
