    Hello dear friends! This is my first try in sculpture.Skale 75mm, materials used: bees putty, steel wire, some magic-sculpt. The sculpture is not finished yet, but I can not wait to read your feedback. :)
    Your feedback, suggestions and critique will be much appreciated!

    Best Regards, Georgi!

    Hi Georgi,
    Firstly welcome to pF and a great introduction, I like what you have achieved with your first sculpt.

    My only personal critique and this may be down to the camera angles, but the sword scabbard looks too broad in comparison to the sword blade.

    If Vikings are your thing you may find this site useful.

    I trust that this is your first try at 75mm and not your first try at sculpting in general because as far as I am concerned you are definitely an accomplished sculptor.Good anatomy,posture and movement,naturalistic creases and folds,dramatic facial expression,well proportioned.A fine sculpt.Good one this,Georgi.

    Thank you guys for the kind worlds! Well, the truth is that before I started this sculpture I watched maybe hundreds of videos in youtube, I have read many tutorials and so on, for which I want to thank everyone who has done their hard work of filming or writing a tutorial!
    And no guys, I'm not a sculptor I have never practiced this before. I'm history teacher by education.

    You have right Richie, I will have to fix the sword. :)
