The 3D sculpture of Mr Kite I started much earlier. Nevertheless, it was an unsuccessful effort. By that time, I realized that forming the unusual diagonal direction in clay is difficult. For sure, I can gain decant effect, however without the expression.
In this post, I will talk through the work which I have done with essential commentary.
For the first effort, I had tried to come out with the shape. According to my sketches, the silhouette supposes to be tensed. Moreover, in the middle of his body, I intend to place a hula hoop.
By the time, Mr Kite looked like a gorilla. This was the most obnoxious part it hesitated me to continue craving this sculpture.
The other day, I made a new ''body'' to start with.
By all means, I tried to show the expression of his movement. I have some issues with his hands. Unfortunately, then I did not come up with a wire or some kind of skeleton.
I continued to crave the body. His legs were a problem, I was dissatisfied with the length and directions.
For this reason, I craved the shape of his face and hair.
In my illustrations, he has a moustache and a long nose.
There is another shot from a different angle.
I forgot to take another picture of how I changed my legs. They were now much shorter and hopefully with decent stability.
What I could change is definitely implementing the skeleton or something which will help me with exaggerating his posture. When the clay will get dry, I will try to stick the hula hoop and the drum under his left leg.
I hope that with the implications the sculpture will be stable.
Remember, with clay once it is dry and before you add colour and the other elements you can use sandpaper to smooth the surface and your modelling tools to scratch into the surface to add detail to your piece if it hasn't come out exactly as you expected it to.
