Progress Part 3

When I was in University I was studying to become an archaeologist. I was specializing in zooarchaeology - faunal osteology and had every intention of going to an MA and then eventually a career in archaeology before disastrous health problems stopped those dreams right in their tracks. Luckily I was studying art for years before stumbling into archaeology and have thus fallen back into it. I bring this up because while working on my cantering warmblood I realize the process of sculpting is a lot like the scientific method. In science, you start with an idea or question, then research, hypothesize, test, analyze results, rinse and repeat. With my stallion, I started with a picture and pose, researched, sculpted, analyzed the results and then of course rise and repeat. Of course the idea with both processes is to further refine and improve upon the original concept. It just goes to show that no matter your background, any learned skills are never wasted! Plus studying skeletal structures and morphologies sure doesn't hurt :P
