Quick progress report on the Purple Heart.  I’m mostly done with the bust of George Washington.  I’ve got most of the parts made, and the face is as done as it’s going to get.  I’ve still got to make a component for his hair and the hair ribbon, then adjust heights and blend things together.

I remember now why I hadn’t messed with a face for a couple of years.  I’m never satisfied.  In this case I think it looks more like Jean-Luc Picard than George Washington.

The picture on the left is from my other monitor.  Usually I crop these pictures down to just the model but in this case I decided to just leave the whole screen shot so you could see my reference picture.  I imported the same picture into Aspire for tracing, but you can’t see that when you’re sculpting so it helps to have a reference picture to work from.
