Making 6 -redesign

 the first main part of the redesign was to remove the feet and design 2 singular feet to attach that already have the design of shoes. therefore keeping a regular size in relation to the rest of the figure.
this was successful, the only problem is attaching them again is fiddly as I will have to carve small pegs and holes into each part.

 the same has been done for the head and body. this redesign was in aid of being able to assemble the model once fully casted which thus far seems to be working to my advantage in comparison to the first method.
now that i have dealt with my own design faults and the clay on the outer of the figure is fully dried I will be able to safely spray the figure without fear of it melting.

Making 5

 The first major hurdle I have faced during the production was shoes, it is too hard to make them a reasonable size while surrounding the foot. this meant I had to redesign the foot, which lead to redesigning the way the whole figure fit together.

Making 4

Having successfully covered the body in clay, the only difficulty I had was the detail of the face, notoriously the nose. after 5 attempts I was happy with the end result.
If I were to attempt this type of detail again I would have used a better quality molding clay or even Plasticine to make it easier to sculpt.

Making 3

making the arms and the head were two of the more detailed and delicate parts to make and took more time than the body/legs.
A problem that I encountered while trying to progress with the legs was that trying to spray prime styrofoam doesnt work, as it starts to dissolve. This means I will have to completely cover the parts in filler/ airdry clay for my next step

Making 2

This shows the progression between the initial cutting and the subsequent sanding of the model. here there has been some filling of gaps using a general purpose filler to ultimately give the model a smooth finish. next to be made is the arms which are thinner and will have to be made more delicately, as i had learnt with the legs and cracking while trying to sand between them.

Making

First and foremost the size of the model is marked out, then the real shaping could commence, this is the initial shape being prepared.
Need sandpaper/ wet&dry to make smooth ready for the clay exterior.

Final Design

for the final design illustrations i have focused on using similar techniques as previous in the project, sticking to the urban style (titi freak) and concentrating on pulling out many triats from myself as possible I have come up with this. Removing the eyes gives an impact that people said eyes gave, the awkward mouth has been hidden and embellished with a red bandanna. in terms of clothing i have stuck to clothing/ style that I would have which fits with the overall designs. from these designs i am intending to make the final figure and cast it using resin.
