          @kylebeaudette I love your figures and always look forward to seeing what you have created. I have just started making maquettes for my drawings and really like the process. I have found videos about making armature but am wondering if you use any light weight material like foam on the armature to fill up space on some of the larger areas before adding the clay. If so, what do you use and do you have any tips on applying it?

              Hey, thanks!
              The methods I use are the ones taught by the Shiflett Brothers.
              The wire is cloth covered floral wire.
              Then after that is posed, I use Oatey epoxy putty on top of the wires. It's a two part epoxy used for plumbing. It sets in about 5 minutes, so very little working time.

              Once that is fully set, maybe an hour later, you can wipe a small amout of vaseline on it (very light amount) and then you can apply polymer clay to your rock solid armature.
              If you want to cook it, and then reapply some more polymer clay details, just wipe another very thin layer of vaseline. The fresh clay will now adhere to the cooked clay. This can be done over and over again. I usually cook three times.

              For more info, look up the Shiflett Bros. They know all, and will tell you what you need to know! Or ask me anytime.

              Here are some picture examples of the epoxy, then clay going on.

                @kylebeaudette That is so helpful! Thanks. I will definitely look up the Shiflett Brothers.

                  @demotlj if you're not using clay that gets cooked in an oven, and youre using a Chavant nsp or monsterclay or any oil-based-never-hardens type clay, then maybe look up Simon Lee instead. His methods will help you a lot.

                    @kylebeaudette At this point I'm just using sculpty (it remains pliable even when exposed to air) because I'm using them as drawing aids and taking them apart after I finish. I will look up Simon Lee. However, the last maquette I did was so much fun, I am debating trying to do something more permanent. I live in a ceramics town with an abundance of potters so clay is pretty available here and I might give it a try when I have some spare time. Too many fun things to do in art -- it's hard to stay focused!

                      @Jonas-Zavacky - This castle/forest ink sketch has a nice vib to it. The castle is unique and the size of the trees behind it make an interesting contrast in size. Nice work. ๐Ÿ™‚

                        @MissMushy / Michelle-This scene in a fridge is so wonderful! There is color, food having fun, and the style is abstracted in a minimalist way that is appealing. Kids will love this. Canโ€™t wait to see more of this. ๐Ÿ™‚

                              These are sketches for the SCBWI monthly Draw This competition. The theme is muddy.
                              A muddy boy and his dog are surprised by mom coming home from shopping.
