Thank you!
I'm thinking about reds and brownish-reds and coppery-bronzey colors. But then, I also would like bronzes, browns, and sandy tans, too, and a green color would be gorgeous.I'm so bad at choosing colors. Got any suggestions?
Ooh! That would be really cool! I think you should do it! Practice makes perfect after all. I'd suggest you get some wire to make an armature, and keep the figure hollow with a layer of clay around the wire armature, to save on weight and drying time. That's how the dragon sculpture is done, and it weighs probably 2 pounds even though it's hollow. Clay gets heavy fast!
