Fearless Leader: Knowing the post
Fearless Leader: pose
Fearless Leader: Keeps the fiddling of the body down to a minimum
Fearless Leader: and there's another trick
Fearless Leader: cover the body

Fearless Leader: make your armatures with limbs, fingers and TOES all
extended
Fearless Leader: ooops Teri got dumped
linda_d_45419 agrees with linda_d_45419
Fearless Leader: and then put in the creases
Fearless Leader: where creases exist on your body
Fearless Leader: know your pose
Fearless Leader: and bend the armature into that pose
Fearless Leader: THOSE CREASES
Fearless Leader: are your friendss
teri56: makes sense
Fearless Leader: for they will allow the body to bend naturally
Fearless Leader: and push up the clay
Fearless Leader: where muscle would have been bunched up
Fearless Leader: on the inner elbow
Fearless Leader: and back of knee
Fearless Leader: it's also a sculpting trick
Fearless Leader: leg extended
Fearless Leader: creases pressed in
Fearless Leader: bend the leg
Fearless Leader: un bend the leg
Fearless Leader: wonky clay area
Fearless Leader: smushed
Fearless Leader: it's a good thing
Fearless Leader: wait
Fearless Leader: cover that with a thin layer of skin
Fearless Leader: the bunched up clay above and below that crease
Fearless Leader: is often
Fearless Leader: as it needs to be, naturally
teri56: you mean at the knees?
Fearless Leader: for clay moves like that
Fearless Leader: back of knee
teri56: ok
Fearless Leader: if you take a straight leg
Fearless Leader: crease it
Fearless Leader: bend it
Fearless Leader: that area where the clay gets compressed
Fearless Leader: when the leg is open
Fearless Leader: that's often torn clay, pushed clay, exposed foil
Fearless Leader: but that's where we need an indentation
Fearless Leader: just cover it with a thin layer of clay
Fearless Leader: leave the bunched clay of the upper calf there
Fearless Leader: instant sculpting
Fearless Leader: which I will show you
Fearless Leader: let me get the url for putting the skin on the
armature
Fearless Leader: who's saving logs?
Fearless Leader: Who's doing screen shots?
frogger70301: I sent what I had, but I can start again if no one else
wants to do it
teri56: is there a secret to this
frogger70301: I'm doing the shots.
teri56: ?
teri56: I'll do the log - just tell me how
frogger70301: Copy text
Fearless Leader: copy and paste to an email and send to me
teri56: oh - ok
teri56: got it
Fearless Leader: like right now is a logical break
