| The first step not shown here is the actual drawing. I then went on to step two which was the transfer of the drawing into the clay. The photos above are of the third step in this eight step process; carving. I have found myself to be using my carving tools as one would use a drawing medium such as a pen, pencil, or charcoal. I am carving deeper into areas of more dimension as one would build up using charcoal for example. I am also, creating raised surfaces which represent different line qualities that will define the finished work. |
