Hairy bits

I had a sudden and undeniable urge to sculpt some hairy ponies. Hair has never been my thing and I have struggled with 2 dimension V's 3 dimension ...but I seem to have found my groove whilst sculpting Weathergirls tail. I was particularly pleased with my new customs feathery legs when using this method, so I thought I would share :) Step one is the armature. I cut a channel along Bluebell's crest, the exact same way as when I am doing braids (tutorial here ). Once this is done I run a wave or fin of apoxie along the groove, squished and pressing with my fingers.

Following my reference photos, I add to his profile, giving him more forehead, continuing right down and including the squishy bit between his nostrils. Once I think I have it 'about' right, I use my finger in the solven...

It's been a long time ...

A really long time! But I'm back sculpting and painting again, and that makes me terribly happy 😊 Last week saw my Arabian Mare Naahla finished.  I was really pleased with her final result and her final photos. Naahla started life as a Weathergirl and was painted as a part of Jennifer Buxton's NaMoPaiMo, which was the best thing I have done in ages. All levels of artists from professionals to amateurs having a go, sharing highs and lows and getting a pony painted in the month of February This was my first year doing it, and I will definitely be back painting again next year, and I might even finish on time!
