"JORGE BENLLOCH: Now, we are going to just to add more detail. The posture of the arms really important. They definitely need one. We have to make--it's important now to define the hip position of her because--that's the hip, then, it's going to be the leg in there. And that's the other hip, then, it's going to be the leg in here. Then we have to mark too, you know, this thing. That's good. Then this guy have, more or less, the legs in position. Now, let's dance. Let's see if--she grab him from the neck maybe. Maybe it's a good one. Have to just try to redefine the bodies and put some kind of little detail later. The arms, they are getting too big and too fat when we push the clay out around and we have to re-trim in order to make them look good. This guy have a big one but this is the jacket. That's good. There. I like to try to dress him up with a tuxedo. And now, she have too much material here. It's just time to put a little more detail in a-in a good shape though we have to reshape it. Every time that we move the figurine and we press or push the clay in one direction, you have to reshape it because it's going to change the shape on the other one and you have to be ready for that and that's what I am doing here. Now, we have to do this--no feminine shoulders, too thick. We have to reshape that. And later, we are going to make the kind of dress that she's wearing. Maybe she have--all the back, covered by the dress. Later, we have to think which kind of hair we want to put there and him, too. Now, the chest maybe is too big, never too big. How I marking here the hips better around the hip and the dress that it's come after the hip."
