Step #1 Getting an Idea

The first step before you can create anything is to have a clear idea of what you want to make before you do it. Some little things may be changed during the sculpting process but the overall idea usually stays the same. For my demonstration in this blog i will be creating a mask using everyday materials and things that can be found at a hardware store.I will first sculpt it in clay then casting it in a strong, durable resin and fiberglass. My mask will resemble the mask of a character (Phillip Clyde) on the popular video game Army of Two. Because it is my mask and therefore my creation i will be deviating from the original design somewhat in order to make it more of my own, not just some copy. This is important because everyone is different with different opinions and ideas. Without this artistic expression we would be very bored in life, at least in my opinion.
