Balloon Man


Every once in a blue moon I sculpt something just for fun. This was an idea for an illustration but instead I wanted to try and sculpt it. There are of course some issues with the figure but I kind of like him even if he is a bit lopsided!

So here's my attempt at sculpture! Here are some details:

If this is what you can do when only sculpt occasionally, I can only imagine what you could do if you sculpted all the time.

I see what you mean by lopsided, but I'm not sure it is that bad. It looks like he is leaning over to hand a child a balloon. I really like his proportions and the details in his face are great.

Sculpy, tin foil, wire and paint. And wooden bases.

Very nice work! Love the style and feel of this. Looks like a three dimensional French cartoon style.
Bravo.
