The Changes That Were Made
Here is the larger photograph that was provided that had so much more visual information. I separated the head from the body more time, so that I could really get close to it. Someone asked me how many times I have done this in the process? I have no idea, too many times to have kept count. The reason why I do this is that having a head in my lap is much easier than trying to sculpt while it is attached. I changed some things on the sculpture like the eyes, and tweaked the smile I also elongated her neck.
I also worked hard on the legs. I thought it important to give the sculpture a little more movement.
