Making baby figurine tutorial 1 - the armature and the legs

Here is a new sculpture that I'm working on.
The following tutorial is basically the work in progress of a baby sculpture. She is about 2 years old.

As usual, I use jumbo paperclips for the armature, bend them straight first and bend them in shapes with pincers, apply some clay around the paperclips, enough to hold it in position and bake first. You are going to hold it for many hours, so make sure it is steady and the whole armature can be a bit over baked which means you may bake it in the oven 10 to 15 minutes more than normal. 

You may have seen the extent armature with 2 parallel wires go on top of her head. You don't want to hold the soft clay during sculpting, so you can use the extent holders even the figurines don't have a flat base to stand free. Pull them out after baked and fill in with  some clay for the little holes and bake it again shortly. You won't even notice the holes if you fix the surface properly.

The pictures were taken during sculpting, so just follow them one after another, you may see the changing points if you look carefully. More discretion will update lately. Thanks for watching!!

Please leave your comment so I know what you think and if anyone can be more supported for the tutorials, so I may have the reasons to go on, thanks!
