OPTIMUS PRIME ๐Ÿค– Clay Art Contest #4 Entry - Timelapse and process photos ๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ
<center> ***AUTOBOTS*** ๐Ÿค–
This entry is specially made for the clay at contest held by @josejirafa!

*I used a screwdriver because I forgot to buy carving tools and I bought some Play-doh.*

I have always loved sculpting but I haven't sculpted in a long long time but it's great to start again.

The challenge this time is to mold our
***Favorite cartoon character***
Now I've watched transformers cartoons and movies and I love robots, machines and even considered taking up a course  for college related to machines before in highschool. 

๐Ÿ‘‰***Optimus Prime***๐Ÿ‘ˆ
I used the movie robot as reference since my mom suggested so ๐Ÿ˜…โœŒ๏ธ
They laughed and said "let's see if she can do it" 

Well, here it is!
*They said it looked great. Phew!*

> Hi everyone ๐ŸŒท

Okay so we got our clay now! Im so excited. 
However it's so hard to decide which anime/cartoon or comic character to draw. Good thing I was able to brave the challenges of sculpting machines haha.

๐ŸŽจTitle: Optimus Prime

๐ŸŽจMedium: Modeling Clay

๐ŸŽจMaterials: Clay, screw driver, clean sheet of paper, reference

โณDuration: 2-3 hours

Incase any of you are wondering, I could not sculpt the whole body for a number of reasons
โŒThe clay is too soft
โŒToo little clay
โŒThere is no support/ wire skeleton on a base for a proper standing sculpture to be made
โŒ Limited colors

***Although***
Creating a half bust of Optimus:
โ˜‘๏ธ Saves time
โ˜‘๏ธ Helps more focus
โ˜‘๏ธ Easier
โ˜‘๏ธ Portable
โ˜‘๏ธ Saves on clay

You can mix some colors to make a few gradations so you'll have more options on different shades if you plan on making one.

# SOME PROCESS PHOTOS ๐Ÿ“ธ
<center> These are the very few I took and I'll give a brief explanation since ***It's all in the video***!

๐ŸŽจ***What did I do here***?
I initially made an egg shape or oval of the face then I added pieces of clay and layering them. 

***We add, not subtract***
Leonardo da Vinci used a big block of marble and started and chiseled it into the Pieta. *Some sculptures work that way*

Here I add layers to make a whole, we mold this way. Just a little subtraction later on for reshaping and details.

๐ŸŽจ ***Add details and more parts***
This clay is super easy to mold and you just rub it and the surface smoothens and its easy to stick and join parts together.

>I used yellow clay instead of white to emphasize light and also to add color variation.

๐ŸŽจ***Keep going***
> Do your best Jacinta!
You can opt to buy a clay which is harder so its more moldable into angular shapes and doesn't flatten easily.

Some layers join when I need them to be defined and separate.

โ˜๏ธ***Be very careful***โ˜๏ธ

Thankfully the canons were sturdy, almost killed me. 
They fell after a few hours but it's okay.

๐Ÿ“ธ***Model box***๐Ÿ“ธ
I put it inside a model box. This box by the way was given to me by my ever so thoughtful bestie @fukumineko ๐ŸŒท

Thanks! It helps a lot!

I wish I could do more details or maybe if I MADE A BIGGER ONE...

I'd make it more precise and not look like a birthday cake icing decor. Lol
