My work in progress

[blueberry]

I have been working on a NF project while my small one naps on me during the day and I wanted to share with you all ;D

I started this project back in May then abandoned it because I wasn't quite brave enough to 'go rogue' and attempt to finish it without having used a wire armature Anyway, I got back onto it a few days ago and I'm really excited to see it gradually shaping up. Still a LOT to do, not least taking loads of photos of our pony to get the markings right lol!

What do you think so far?

It's certainly a good horse/pony shape! Look forward to more progress pics!

Thank you today I have managed to get a bit of work done on the legs and took the photos I needed so started to shape the body to look like our pony. This could be a loooooong job!

You've gotten a great base shape and that's really important for a good end result. I hope you'll show us more in progress shots. It's fun to see how a piece develops.

I have no advice. It looks great to me already. However, as a painter, I spend a lot of time studying photos and doing proportion studies when painting people and animals. I guess that is the same with sculpture like this.

It looks like a horse already so you are already doing great.

Thank you for the lovely comments. I had taken photos each day I worked on this so have added them to the OP. I'll post more pics as I go along ;D
