just that simple.
You said it, not me. Be careful of getting into that "simple" habit Ryan. You have way too much talent to get comfortable. You need to learn to give your eyes dired=ction & flow different from your local competitors. If people see a deer for $300 and it looks the same as the $400 deer then who are they going to choose.
Start getting more involved with your clay work. I takes me more tome to clay the underneath of the chin and the brow on top of my head than it does to set both eyes. Forget you even have a form that is suppose to be accurate, step out of bounds a little bit & start claying your form the way you see it, not the way the sculptor see's it....develop your own style
I didnt mean to make it sound like that, i meant as far as the concept....pre rotated eyes are just glued in, rotated requires more construction...they clay work is never easy for me, i usually sculpt each eye 2 to 3 times before i get them like i want, its never simple.
I usually leave the facial features alone with the exception of a few muscles in the lower jaw and the cheek structure..
the past ten deer ive mounted have been forms that i bought then altered into a different pose. Im still taking stuff slowly...especially the eyes! lol
