Figure Sculpture, Week 5


Forgot my 'art glasses' - blended tri-focals that enable me to see the model clearly and up close. So I used some off-the-shelf readers that are always in my purse. I saw outlines more clearly without details. This resulted in a serious re-working of the figure. When I viewed the series of iPhone 4 shots I took, I wasn't happy with the results and hence am only showing you one, with a photo filter added. Lol.
