Because it was not complete, I felt the essence of the beauty became infinite.

There is something quite organic about them and it is maybe easier to appreciate the subtle form of our bodies in parts, than be distracted by the beauty of the whole.

I feel similar when I do Japanese calligraphy and ink drawing. I guess it has similar rhythm; the repetition of the burst of concentration and also a short breathing time.

I never had the opportunity to sculpt with a live model, though. Just charcoal drawings. Much later I found clay and somehow my hands decided to figure draw in clay. Your clay models look good and its a wise thing to just concentrate on parts.

We say in Japan 'there is no good heavy pot' although mine are not pots. ; ) I would love to make larger ones but there is no occasion in our course yet. 3-5 minutes posing is too short for larger than this size.
