Sketchovers – the lazy man’s rendering

Well, it almost feels like cheating, seeing as my proportions never look this good in actual sketches, but here are some of the sketchovers I have been using to accompany my design changes in the clay itself. I’m loving the three dimensionality of working in clay, and being able to view even subtle surface changes instantly from many angles, but sometimes that simply takes too long (or I’m sick of putting clay back on – it’s very demoralising haha) so these are the next best thing for experimentation. I find they also help me in cases where I’ll sketch out the linework of a theme I’m actually happy with, to consult with later if my experimentation on the clay destroys that particular feature. Sort of a labour intensive ’Save as Copy’ function, if you will.
