Batman Statue in progress

This is the first stage of sculpture for my Batman figure. In this stage I work out the pose and proportions I want, I also block in some points for later detail. This stage is done in a semi soft pink Castilene. This type of castilene is excellent for this stage because it is soft when warmed up and acts like a clay, so I can push it around and get the desired gesture. When the castilene cools down it becomes harder and will maintain its shape and bare most of the sculptures weight without need for an armature. Working this way allows me freedom to change poses and move things around without being confined to an armature.
