Fixed up the body and contour! I'm thinking about adding actual glitter to the highlight but I'm not 100% sold on it …. However, I started adding the facial hair and I couldn't be happier! This is shaping up to be a pretty good painting !

Conquered my fears and started painting! I mess up the body a little bit :( , but I can always go over it more. I'm pretty happy with this so far, so that's good! I'm thinking about adding a squiggly background design (as per usual, but maybe with some fun materials?). I also need to fix the highlights and add some contours.
I finally got all of my needed supplies from Plaza! Some replacement paint, glitter, sculpey, and a wood canvas. I think I'm ditching the idea of cellophane for now just because I have no idea how I'd go about it. I also did my sketch and I. Am. In. Love! (So in love that I'm kind of scared to start painting … oof.)
Thus so far I have two ideas for summer projects- both acrylic paintings. I'm leaning towards the first- the drag queen one- because it's more on theme for me AND I have more planning. I'm going to plaza sometime this week to gather supplies for this- wood board, acrylic paint, sculpey, and cellophane (?). I'm really excited to get crackin' on this new project, and I've already started on a small personal painting (which I self-plugged in down below. I won't be turning this in, but it is progress of sorts).
He's ready for firing! I removed him from his armature today (as seen in that picture of me) and shaped up his body a bit. A chunk of his back fell off, but it's not detrimental- I'll just cover it with a feather boa or something! Overall, I'm really happy with how my endeavors with sculpture are going!
So, uh, this fella has completely shifted directions. Initially it was going to be a project about my struggles with anxiety, and then I made him… and he's so loveably ugly? Like endearing? Like Jeff Goldblum in the Fly ugly (spoiler, i love him). Anyways, I have new content! I won't disclose it just yet but it involves obtaining a wig, a bra, and a feather boa. I'm very very excited. I also just need to add a few details and then this sucker is ready to be fired!
My new project is a sculptural bust! I haven't done sculpture- let alone clay- in a hot while so I'm really anxious to see how this turns out!? I have my visions, but I highly doubt they'll be fulfilled since I'm such a novice in this medium … but oh well, I'm just excited to be doing something new. Today I started my armature, I still need to add shoulders and a chest to this hunk though.
Honestly, I didn't even realize that I didn't take photos of this project (which is just… big sad). That probably has to do in the fact that I completed it in two day, Go Me! I think this is my favorite project I've done all year- a good culmination of all my separate eclectic styles and mediums. I'm really proud of this one chief.
Here's some close ups of the finished work! I went in with some chalk pastel and added some loose scribbles- which I wish were darker (oh well!), but other than that nothing has changed much!
