change faces and ideas

This week I have continued my focus on the body, particularly the head and face. On Monday I made a number of head shapes out of wire, However i was not to impressed with the outcome, due to the fact that wire was far too easy to ms-shaped by knocks etc. It also did not portray a face as I expected and looked more like a bent wire frame. I also tried using a wooden frame, with Welding rods drilled though, what I was hoping was that I could mould and shape a face protruding from the rods. This ended up proving difficult due to the rigidity of the rods, however this could be looked at again in the future, it’s just not right for a facial sculptor at this moment in time. 
I have enjoyed the week, but dam i have been tired,

 

Life drawing also played apart in my week and as mentioned before fitted in with my inspiration’s of moment, facial features etc. below are a few of my sketches, mainly 2 minute pose drawings.

After moving aside the wire idea, i moved on to stencilling my head with the use of an overhead projector, on to a piece of card, since then i used that one piece of card as a template and continued to make more and more stencils of my head. I intend to make some form of sculptor once I have enough...












It’s been another difficult week. I have found that I am unable to focus on more than one thing at a time, this tended to lead me to get in a twist.  Especially If i can't work things out in my head. Again I have been hugely tired and if I am honest a little grumpy at home. I am blaming the change in season and the dark evenings, however those around me have raised concerns and a small med change has taken place. So Wednesday evening I took a step back from my art work, I am not saying I am giving up, I am just accepting that I cannot do everything and i cannot always fulfil other people’s expectations
