sketches i made today






i'm making up a few figure sculptures at the mo. the top guy is called "out for a walk". he is just about to walk off of a height which should work better when he's given an appropriate base. he's meant to be coming out of a bushy area. this is only a sketch so far.

the second guy is a re-edit of a scuplture i made ages ago called the commuter. which got destroyed so now i have to make a new one. he's coming along though.

the third one is just a very low relief that i'm tryingto get a process right on. i'm trying for a repeating pattern. this is inspired by ivan mestrovich who did some pretty awesome sculptures in his time. he did some cool relief work that had repeating patterns going far back into the background but they were only done in very low relief. i'll have to keep practicing.

more another day!

this guy is a kind of celtic style monolith but a figure too.
i drew the doodle to see if i liked the idea and it looked good to me.
it kind of draws on the previous bust i made for the simple form with abstract detail.
once i made the form up he ended up looking somewhat like a chinese or japanese figure that my friend has a set of three of. it was entirely sub-conscious although i do like how he looks like an aging wiseman. i like the monumental aspect of him too, he'd be great as a huge rock out in the middle of a field!
i'm digging the simple form with simple design worked into it to delineate what the form is.
i think maybe i put too much on this guy but i like the look of him nonetheless. something to think on for the next one.
