I used a screwdriver because I forgot to buy carving tools and I bought some Play-doh.

I have always loved sculpting but I haven't sculpted in a long long time but it's great to start again.

The challenge this time is to mold our
Favorite cartoon character
Now I've watched transformers cartoons and movies and I love robots, machines and even considered taking up a course for college related to machines before in highschool.

👉Optimus Prime👈
I used the movie robot as reference since my mom suggested so 😅✌️
They laughed and said "let's see if she can do it"

Well, here it is!
They said it looked great. Phew!

In the process of making this I kept telling myself "this is so hard" cause the clay is so soft? Haha

I read about the contest yesterday and me and my brother @vocafrost immediately wanted to join! Im glad cause my brother is making so much effort to try art because of steemit 💋💋💋 merci steemit ☝️

Hi everyone 🌷

Okay so we got our clay now! Im so excited.
However it's so hard to decide which anime/cartoon or comic character to draw. Good thing I was able to brave the challenges of sculpting machines haha.

TIMELAPSE VIDEO 📽️ Complete Process

🎨What did I do here?
I initially made an egg shape or oval of the face then I added pieces of clay and layering them.

We add, not subtract
Leonardo da Vinci used a big block of marble and started and chiseled it into the Pieta. Some sculptures work that way

Here I add layers to make a whole, we mold this way. Just a little subtraction later on for reshaping and details.

_{add add add more}

🎨 Add details and more parts
This clay is super easy to mold and you just rub it and the surface smoothens and its easy to stick and join parts together.

I used yellow clay instead of white to emphasize light and also to add color variation.

🎨Keep going

Do your best Jacinta!
You can opt to buy a clay which is harder so its more moldable into angular shapes and doesn't flatten easily.

Some layers join when I need them to be defined and separate.

☝️Be very careful☝️

Thankfully the canons were sturdy, almost killed me.
They fell after a few hours but it's okay.

📸Model box📸
I put it inside a model box. This box by the way was given to me by my ever so thoughtful bestie @fukumineko 🌷

Thanks! It helps a lot!

The following are the rest of the photos I took of my clay model

The lights are so nice 😅✌️

The light reveals true color, shape and sloppy works!

I wish I could do more details or maybe if I MADE A BIGGER ONE...
🤔💭

I'd make it more precise and not look like a birthday cake icing decor. Lol

That's done! 🎉🎊
