I particularly like the definition in the figure's arm (especially forearm) muscles. Β Contrasted with the softer, less developed legs, it heightens the impression of a real person, whose figure derives from athletic activity - rather than some idealized gym model.

Amazing, thanks for sharing and thanks for showing what type of materials were used!

I love it! Β I want it! Β I wish I could do this! Β Can't wait to hear how she will be finished and how this clay differs from working with polymer clay. Β Beautiful anatomy, pose and balance.

Given the length of time since you asked this, I'm going to assume that the artist isn't going to respond - but I thought I might offer some advice that might prove helpful.
Typically, when making larger figurines (say, down to 1/6 or 1/8 scale), I tend to pre-bake a couple of eyeballs for the piece and set them in the head while the rest of the sculpture is still malleable. Β I then overlay eyelids and other definition. Β Judging by looks, it seems Mr. Newman typically uses the same technique.
For smaller figurines (1/12 scale figurines, tabletop gaming miniatures, etc.), I simply place a little mound of clay, and depress the eyes slightly from the lids using something like a yarn needle, a pencil tip, etc. Β I follow that up by defining the tight spots (where the eyelids overlap the eye, for example) with a sharper needle, a small slotted screwdriver, etc. Β From what I've seen, Mr. Newman tends to work on a larger scale, but if you do smaller sculpts (your gallery only had a couple examples of your work) you may find this helpful.

Do you use a live model, or a series of photos of one?Β The anatomy on this is so realistic!

Your anatomy detail is wonderful - love the left elbow/forearm and the knees in particular.

Love that knee in the foreground. Β Also the pose is wonderfully captured, looks completely lifelike.
