How to Sculpt the Legs of a Cat in Clay

Video Transcript

"JORGE BENLLOCH: Now, we are going to start making the legs because you can see that it's like an axle here and this is going to be the two legs and the structure that is going to support the cat. Then we are going to add a part of the body here. And then it's important that we meld these two parts together. Then melding means that we have to put these two pieces of clay together leaving these in the--these attach a little bit. You don't need to press too much. This is going to be the two legs. Later, we are going to shape this as a leg form. Then, with all these clay that I had, all the pieces--it's the same of kind clay, cut in there. We're going to add some kind of volume here that is going to be the rear legs and the rear, the butt. And then we'll start building up with coils or whatever, you want to do it like this, so this we call coils, clay coils. You can build whatever you want up. You have to start building up. Put more material here, more material there, whatever you have, just more, and we have like a base, a self-standing base. This is very important because this is going to be the support. I mean, this is going to support whatever we build on top of that."
