This is a great explanation of the process. Glad you did it. One thing that would make your process easier would be to go to a softer clay which is available at Dick Blick. Love your bear. Keep on working. Kit

Well folks I'm about to take you on a little trip down the road of sculpting.

Is everyone ready ?

Well first off I want to thank Gary Glass ... Tallented Wildlife Photographer and part time comedian.

One of his photographs of a Young Coastal Brown Bear at the Brooks Fall area of Katmai National Park in Alaska that was just about to capture a fish in it's mouth was what inspired me to create a sculpture of the scene.

Thanks Gary.

So with that taken care of ... let's get to business.

First thing that got the ball rolling was to make a few concept sketches of what I was looking to create. Unfortunately my sketches aren't with me while I'm starting this ... but fortunately I did take a photo of one of my sketches for you to get an idea of how it's sort of suposed to look.
