Sculpt the Three Wise Men - Part 4

4 years ago

The Three Wise Men sculptures are finally done!

It was really fun using so many different materials in this project. I used images and materials from a lot of different cultures, too. The turban photos I used for reference were worn by men in Afghanistan, the robes came (sort of) from old drawings of Persian Zoroastrian priests, the sandals are Persian, Arabian and North African, and I used ribbons from Turkey and Italy. Whew!

In spite of all the experiments I made you wade through in this video series, this project really wasn't all that complicated. As soon as I have a new blog post with screen shots (of just the steps that actually worked, no experiments or do-overs) I'll post a link to it in this description.
