NINTH ENTRY - LITTLE HEAD

Again, relating back to the Fourth Entry, I am plagued by my great mistake. The armature for the child is simply too big. The character I have in mind needs to be smaller.

Whilst sculpting I have learned, whether it is a limitation of my own, or simply normality, that my mind is unable to ignore parts of the body, and mentally replace them with what is underneath. Just as it is not the same to sculpt a naked figure from a clothed model, it is very difficult, and frankly quite pointless to sculpt a head without hair.... I assure you, once I added a blob of wax to act as hair, suddenly the face and head started to make more sense...

R. is starting to look like himself....
