So, what challenges did I overcome during the creation of this piece? Pretty much everything. I felt like I went crying for help pretty much every day. The lips, how to make the head, the eyes, how to make it, how to do it, hair, ears, everything. But I did it! With lots of help and it even looks half decent and I am really proud of myself and I carried his head all through school on Friday stroking his hair which, is really creepy, because he's just a head, but I've stared at this thing too long to recognize that, so . . .
I would change a lot in the future. Like, the back of his head is just whack. And the left side of his mouth -- just the skin next to it. It just makes his face look puffy in a way that it shouldn't. And . . . His left eye. I messed that up pretty bad, but I got really fed up with it, as I do with most art projects, and I thought it would look good enough, but I regret that now.
I would really like to do another sculpture like this (if I take sculpture 2 will you just let me do a lot of heads?) because I think that I just need practice to get it better.
And to make your life even better, here are 18 unnecessary pictures of Cecil's head!
