It's been one of those weeks. But I did manage to get a bit more progress made. I'm still procrastinating the torso, so I've been working on the legs. I'm sure having an actual arse and hips, when I finish them, will make the torso easier to judge.
There's a lot of small inaccuracies I want to fix. I've been mainly using the front, sides and diagonal views, since most references use those; I want to train my eye to match them and understand it properly from those and not be too dependent on 360 degree rotation. It's not terrible as it stands, though; feels like the parts I've done so far are in need of refinement rather than totally busted. Soften things a little here and there, tweak some angles. And then of course, once I'm done with the torso and head, move onto the tertiary forms and rendering.
I think it's been a good exercise so far; I got a bit better at observation. Sculpting like this feels very much like Hard Mode; I reckon sculpting in A-pose with symmetry will be quite easy after this. For now though, my next point is I need to finish blocking in the structural masses of the right leg, then clean it up a bit.
