NYMPH (Torso)

 

Today we are starting the nymph  part of the two figure sculpt.

 A 3/8' layer of conditioned clay is applied to the armature. Press the clay into the basic shape while the clay is warm. be sure to squeeze the clay onto the armature.

Use a tool to layout the transitions between the various muscle, bone groups.

 Sculpt the finished torso using the line to guide your shaping. The left arm has been pulled up and into the right arm once the sculpting is done in the breast area.

 The basic torso is ready. Upper arms and legs are done at the same time so the torso does not need to be adjusted when these are done later.
