Small portrait in water based clay… no model, just from imagination. Made quickly so there’s lots of asymmetry but had to try. I hadn’t used this type of clay for around 11 years and I had forgotten how much more naturally things flow. #art #artist #figurativeart

@SRE_mx @Embamexru La página para agendar cita me bloqueó, hasta en 24 horas puedo acceder. La página falla mucho. Me urge la cita para una fecha especial para enero pues he tenido que programar otra cosas específicamente para poder ir a esa cita. Por favor me urge agendar, ¿qué puedo hacer?

Modelling from a 360° set of pictures helped a lot- and felt as close to live modeling. Which I haven’t done in years! I was introduced to @ArtModels (PoseSpace), which has an enormous database… strongly recommend!

[Christian Escalante Castillo @esculturacec]

I share a process picture for a recent sculpture competition (by @prokotv and @andrewjkeith25)… don’t post a lot around here but it seems a bit more tricky to connect around Instagram… what do you think? Will share some more content more often here in @X! #art #sculpture
