I sculpted this portrait as suggested by my art teacher.
It was quite difficult, but I got help off my teacher, who advised me, and helped me with the things I struggled with (getting the shape right and making the clay smooth).
We started off by outlining where we wanted the portrait to be, and then building up on the outline in clay, to get it how we wanted it to be.
I particularly struggled with proportions on this, especially since I haven't worked with clay much before.
It was fun, but i don't think I would regularly do it, I prefer painting and drawing.
I am not completely satisfied, because the colouring I used is not very similar to the actual photo, and I did not get the proportions right, so they don't perfectly look alike.
However, I do like the outcome, however, because I like the way the face looks, although it doesn't look like the photo.
People have commented that the pale green that I used on the face reminds them of old bronze statues and that the gold around the eyes is very effective.
