Another commission! Second attempt overall at making a black and white Holstein type cow. I made the first one too thin (too true to life!) and the legs weren't right either.
Lesson learnt: too realistic is no good, these are characters not true-life sculpture. The skill is to identify the features which make it obviously the animal its supposed to be but still make it cartoon-like. I loved adding the bell to this one! I can see the models getting more and more detailed - where will this end??? Also, I can see my 'style' developing.
Here she is varnished and drying prior to posting off tomorrow.
