Hey,
as you may have read in a previous post, I've just started work on my first ever sculpt; a bust of the 'saint of killers' from the garth ennis 'preacher comic'.
So far it's coming on OK, but I am having a
LOT of trouble trying to sculpt a revolver for him to hold. It's just not looking like a real gun, and no matter what I do it seems to spoil the effect of the rest of the statue.
does anyone have either a weapons tutorial or some nuggets of advice they could give me?
