Somehow missed this post scrolling through... Ah what can you do. I'd say that looks great for a first sculpt, with no reference to boot!
As it happens, I've just started sculpting too -- with soft clay for children :)
Simple shapes, just as a form of quick mental exercise (that's my excuse!)
Delightful stuff, I may actually need to get some small tools if I want to sculpt a tiny face at some point (and I do!)
Hehe, pretty cool. One of the things that I am working on is learning to forgive myself for not being a super genius at everything. It is one of the things that I've gotten out of the hours of meditation that I've accumulated. I am super hard on myself!
Sculpting is an awesome way to get out creative frustrations.. There are no rules unless you impose them on yourself!
Cool sculptures by the way. I think I will try that myself; quickly shaping items to exercise the mind. I will probably come up with some funny cartoony stuff.
