When an idea comes, I grab the nearest writing utensil, usually my iPhone, and jot down the description. Then, I sketch a very stylized, borderline stick-figure version to remember the pose. It's not that I don't value a good drawing, but more that I work better from the mind and the more time spent sketching out my visualization, the longer the wait to start on the piece.
For all my loyal fans and stalkers lurking behind their LCD screens of anonymity, here's a video of me spraying glaze onto one of my pieces. ..my lady with no shoulders emerges safe and sound from the bisque! I found exactly four hairline cracks but that's okay because a couple layers of opaque glazes ought to cover 'em right up.
THE FOLLOWING is an attempt to gauge just how long it will take to complete the third of the Layers series, Vanitas. There will be no fussing over shape of eyes and nose this time around, nor any pouty lips and proportionate ears to worry about. However, as I'm completely and totally unfamiliar with the bones of the face, I will certainly need to allot time for miniature models. At least I can find comfort knowing that the two weeks I spent making the hair on Keita Head no.1 is a sizeable chunk of time I can subtract from his skull.
