Starting To Add Some Details


Above: Here I am starting to lay out the basic clothing folds and creases, the photo I have only has the figure from the front so reference photos and using a mirror is the only way I can model the back. Artistic License is a handy thing.




Using the aforementioned reference material, I started adding finer clothing details, a quick internet search led me to the image above of a soldier in kit, and as the figure I am modelling is wearing pretty much the same gear, it was perfect to use as a modelling guide.

POCKETS, FOLDS AND BELT


These images show the trouser folds with the pockets, as well as the belt with loops. With this sculpture it is very important to me to try and re-create the details as exact as I can.

BOOT PROGRESSION

These images show how the boots progressed throughout the modelling process.


 
The first boots I modelled were over sized and I needed to cut them down considerably. The laces were painstakingly rolled out and threaded left over right etc.
