Batman cowl sculpt (first time sculpting)

[TheCaptain96]

Hi all,

I'm actually pretty nervous about this post but I suppose I'll give it a go anyway. after much self doubt I decided to start a cowl sculpt. I've never attempted this before so obviously it'll turn out poor in comparison to work shown here but I'll do my best. Here are some progress pics of the sculpt. My main influences for this are the Michael Keaton version mixed with the arkham origins version.

Please please leave only constructive criticism for me to work with as I've never tried sculpting seriously before . Anyway, here's about half a days worth of work. Hope you enjoy !

You have some really nice lines going already, especially for a first go. I think you might be over critical of yourself. The nice thing about clay is that you can continually play with it. It isn't like some other materials where you have to get the shape you want quickly or your screwed (depending on the clay of course). Seems to be going well! Keep at it, it will be cool to literally watch it take shape.

Looking awesome for a first time man. You have some good forms going on.

I'd love to have a go at this myself sometime soon, so its great to see someone else having a first time go. Keep it up.

Looking good man. Looks a little thick, but it's coming along nicely. Interested to see the final sculpt.

what version of the cowl are you trying to make?

Looks great! The only thing I would recommend would be to build up both halves equally. I was taught that in some fine arts courses, and it helps to keep consistency within your work.
But I'm loving the design so far! Great work, especially for a first time sculptor.
