New beginning

 Throughout last semester, I was sculpting whatever I thought it would help me to increase my skill. However, I wasn't looking at the big picture.

 First of all, in last semester, my brief was to create (or) portray my own version of character model by using different materials or using unique techniques to create a character with strong purpose, (as if they are alive – a living creature with personality attached to it and to show where these characters will fit in certain roles or environment. Also, in the end, my aim for future progress was to create more dynamic character designs, further understanding of bone structures of creatures and progress of background + 3D character.

However, there were pros & cons of this brief and aim I have made. 

 Cons

 1^st – Weakness of my sculptures which was it does not have solid structure due to lack of using enough references

 2^nd – Too vague or over textured the character which is another disadvantage of working without knowledge/references

 [3^rd – Spending way too much time in just sculpting which I have neglected the environment part.]

But on the other hand,

Pros

 1^st – It was an instinctive way of sculpting – (so) it was enjoyable & more creative + intuitive way which makes the sculpture with no boundaries.

 2^nd – Because of this instinctive way of sculpting, there were infinite possibilities to enhance the technical skills + boost the confidence using software.

I still lacked the very basic, fundamental knowledge of what I was going to do in the first place. After these errors/mistakes I have made, improvement for this project was absolutely required. First, gathering resources and references of what I’m going to do to advance this situation. Secondly, rather than going into a mixture of character and environment, I might as well just focus on 1 subject and progress further, which was sculpting characters.

Therefore, I scraped up previous work and started working basic sketches and attaining knowledge of human & animal anatomy, rather than continuing with sculpting just coming from my imagination.
