Plasticine and sculpture!

After making the armature, I begin to sculpt the Tailor with plasticine. It does took me quite a while since it's the first time I've made a puppet of this size. I had only made small, palm-size armatures before. 

Evaluation on Material (Plasticine):

It is not my first time working with plasticine but still I find it difficult due to the size of my puppet. Although I have worked my way out and discovering how to work with it. For example if the plasticine get harder, I can simply blow it with a hair dryer to make it soft again with the hot air. Using modeling tools for aid is also very important. Since there is always some detailed part that I can't sculpt with my fingers. 

Evaluation on my skill:

I think I have improved my sculpting skill as the Tailor came out the way I pictured and drew. I was delighted when I was complimented by my peers. Also after completing it, the Tailor is able to stand and balance, which I was satisfied about. Though I must somehow work faster as according to my action plan, I'm a bit behind schedule.
