To my mind it's a beautiful work of real art. Meaningful and moving, ambiguous and provoking . Thank you for taking us on the journey with you. I look forward to the next one.
Magnificent Eirik! Thank you so much for sharing your epic journey with us all. I’ve enjoyed every instalment and taken a lot from each and every episode. Thank you.
I cannot get over the last 20%. I sculpt out a form pretty quickly. But the last bit, the detailing....Ugh. I get distracted and start sculpting something else.
It’s tough to stay focused! The last 20% are also a lot less exciting, I like to leave parts like the arms, hands, and head towards the end so I have something exciting to look forward to when the detailing gets boring!
@@EirikArnesenArt Thank you for your answer. I think i know what you mean... strangely, maybe we both mean a similar thing. For me, this aha-moment of mine was what saved me once, in a profound way, at any rate i really like your work! Greetings.

How to measure to get a best proportion
There are several canons of proportion you can use. But I measure from the model I use.

i don't think you have to have a why. Ever. Wanting something is enough. Why do you want to be an artist? Because you just do, right?
Of course! But there are a lot of difficult aspects to being an artist. A why helps you get through those tough times.

what kind of clay do you use for these big pieces?
Water-based clay. For larger pieces I use water-based clay, for smaller than 1/2 life-size pieces I'll use oil-based clay like Chavant NSP.
