Building the Behind

By evaluating the model molding work with others, I have a better understanding of placement of clay, details, and process. There were a few places in the gluteus region that the layering was being questioned.  Most of the muscles in our body to layer,twist and overlap.  There was confusion of the two views of the tensor fasciae late and the gluteus maximus (illiac head). Because the instruction from the book could be interpreted differently in the two views, extra research into the placement was needed to decide how everything really flowed together.  I learned more about the process for others. The best method seems to be to study the picture and roll out a piece of clay a little larger in the shape.  After attaching the piece in the correct spots, subtraction of the excess can add detail and allow molding.
