I literally restarted from scratch this afternoon and got a better result finished around an hour ago

Sometimes that's how it goes tbh

Tryina make little edits can be monotonous as fuck in comparison to just starting over

Yeah, there’s also the fact that sometimes you learn things as you go so when you restart, you can put those things into practice early-on

That too

Knowing how to set pivot points to the active element helped so goddamned much when making the dome shape

This was 4 years ago. I really miss doing ceramics

This one the head exploded a bit when it was fired though oof

I ended up just rolling with it and using glaze to glue the pieces of forehead back on which actually kinda worked tbh

I don’t have any experience in ceramics, is it like hand-sculpted spinning wheels?

No spinning wheels lol

The thing pots are made on, I don’t know what they’re called

For masks I would take a hunk of newspaper and shape it vaguely to what I needed, make it really hard to use as a bit of a mold I guess? Not sure the proper wording

I dont know either, I didnt do many pots

LOL

I just built up around some newspaper on that one

I should have thinned out the forehead though because it ended up getting really thick. And then there's the obvious anatomical mistakes I didnt understand back then but I am still kinda proud of it for being in highschool at the time

I think if I were to make a mask of ceramics or clay, it would be far more angular, almost as if the art style for Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure were on an actual facr

Then again, I like angular things

I like angular stuff as well, I'd only done ceramics for a year though

Made me kinda sad because I was getting better and better. Buuuut I'll be able to do it again soon.

Gonna have to relearn though

That was one of the last things I did before I graduated, I think.

Here's an old drawing from the same time though

Apparently a newer version

I need to get back into doing more traditional stuff tbh

Nice, I couldn’t even dream of drawing stuff like that

I doubt that's true, anyone can draw given enough time
