Let me preface this by saying that I've never sculpted anything in my life, so go easy on me! This is something that I've been interested in for a long time but have never actually taken the time to learn.

I'm hoping that I can look back on this in a couple of years with a giggle!

I have no idea what this guy is supposed to be. Just made it up out of my head. I definitely learned some lessons working on this head, and will apply them to my next attempt.

For one, I need reference material or a mirror! Once you start trying to sculpt with no experience, you really begin to realize that you have no idea how one feature of the subject merges into the other.

I have a friend who is a master sculptor and has worked in the toy industry for years. He has offered to teach me before but I haven't really wanted to impose myself. Maybe I will give it a shot, and give him a call!
