Portrait Modelling Today we didn’t draw anything on, we worked around Phil fairly freely. Most noticeable for me, I improved the nose, finally looking a little more Phil like. Kim seemed happy with my progress, I feel patronised but it’s nice and keeps my chin up I guess. Hard to pick out individual bits we…

Portrait Modelling Forgot notebook again. We moved onto sections from the underside of the nose, to the eyebrow line (sixty millimetres up). We then doved these squares into triangles and carried on modelling. Emma’s tip of getting very close and looking under/around is making sense, and hopefully, paying off. At the end of the day…

Portrait Modelling Left my notebook, writing from memory. I don’t remember much. We divided the face up into a sixty millimetre strip from under the nose, then divided this between the under nose, tragus and rear of the head (on the centre line). We then spent a long time, around fifteen to thirty minutes, on…

Another run in with Liz after I made sure Phil was taking the correct break times, but she wasn’t done modelling. Moved onto mouth after, learning about the muscles that form the mouth and cheeks. The…

Don’t want to be ‘sexy’ at all. Thinking of developing the idea of floating angles/figures into a show. Needs thought and research, just from a…

Portrait Modelling Very tried, picket line since 5. Started work on the eyes themselves, after checking all the measurements. Rolled up a twenty six millimetre ball of clay, slightly smaller than the actual eyeball so it will fit in the cutout sockets. Then worked on positioning the eyes by cutting out and reintroducing clay until…

Portrait Modelling Started the day, as normal, by checking and double checking all of yesterday’s measurements. Lots of intuitive modelling today, probably the fastest we’ve ever modelled before. Instead of back to back modelling, for the profile, we stood very far back from the model and the clay to look at the profile. After working…
