Audrey Hepburn

I'm really glad you like it, thank you! I'm curious what it will be like to sculpt her again whenever I make another piece of her. Sometimes just being prepared for the difficulty helps you for the next time.

Thanks! Some day it'll happen...Probably years from now, but I look forward to sculpting her again.

I really appreciate reading that, thanks! I struggled so much on this...It ended up being a really lousy professional experience, but I still want to some day get back around to making my own version of Audrey...Something not intended for production so that I can make different choices that aren't dependent on eventual paint. Some day, some day. That's a good point about the soft focus used for actresses. I'm not even sure why this one in particular ended up being so difficult.... It's just the puzzle of the face....Some people feel right when you're 75% there, others feel completely wrong unless you're 98% there...I never know what to expect. The "Breakfast At Tiffany's" hairstyle was also weirdly hard....Maybe a "Sabrina" Audrey would come together better. I like her cute short hair.

Thanks so much!

Thank you so much! You're so right, women tend to be so hard to sculpt well because of how their features are often accented with make-up....In this case I needed to consider how production paint would be done, too, which means not sculpting the line of the eyebrows, and so forth....When I sculpt her again I'm going to approach it differently. I was stunned by how difficult she was to do remotely well, and the project ended up going poorly because of how long it was taking me..but that's the nice thing about art, we can always do something again for ourselves on our own time...I love her, it would be great to sculpt something again some day....Maybe Sabrina or Roman Holiday!

Thanks so much!

Thank you, kindly!

Thank you very much! I'll make another Audrey at some point. I agree that this one could never really work well without a great paintjob, so it's hard to guess what needs to be done. It's often the case with sculptures of women.

I agree, it's just not something you can pull off well in sculpture before paint....Or if you do, you need to intentionally sculpt her brows and eyes to get the proper shadowing to give the right impression. The next time i sculpt her I want to do that. Thanks so much! She was murder to get even to this point, and I got depressed by the project, but....There's always an opportunity to try again!
