I'm sorry that i haven't post anything for a while. You don't hear from me but as usual, I work five days a week and four hours a day. The progress is slow but gradually building up its shape. This is the third week and I'll have to complete it by end of next week. 😅 Six more days to go!!!! I do begin to see the soul of my model

My model and I, we work four hours a day from Monday to Friday and today it's the eighth day. There are at least seven more days to go if everything goes as planed. 😝 It's the second head statue i did this year and I feel so troubled now. Everyday, I work at a very slow pace. I go back and forth correcting every angle I observe. Not only physically but pschycoligically exhausted too. Like drawing a thousand heads all at the same time. I have to say many thanks to my model who is suffering back pain but continues to work with me. I tease him that his bold head makes everything harder. The skull is like a quizzle box. I see clearly every plane and joint. It's fascinating and yet takes time to figure it out.
