Sculpting limbs................

revisited!! I had a go at sculpting hands for the Santa doll before Xmas, but I was a bit pressed for time, probably not the best situation to have a go at hands, and gave up ~ Santa got cloth hands. However, I want this shelf sitter to be a bit more delicate, so sculpted hands seemed obvious. After another net surfing session I found some tutorials and began sculpting. The result is far from anatomically correct, but I have made a conscious decision to make whimsical/fantasy dolls, as opposed to anatomically correct human sculptures. Here's my first set of hands:
