Normally I start sculpting - no sketches just sculpt. For example The happy dog sculpture came first then the drawings. I know it sounds backwards and it might be. Thursday I did some loose sketches of kids standing on their heads and yes! I think they might be a fun series of sculptures. The body types, and endless balancing techniques Or lack there of are interesting, playful and will be great cast in bronze.
The inspiration for the series - vintage klement home movies- Curtis, and his sisters doing headstands for the movie camera. Early 1960's
This is one of many screen shots I took from Curtis' mom's home movies.
My sketches
Sadly I did not have the above picture with me when I was drawing.
We shall see if sketching before sculpting works for me.
