The following is a small rough  ceramic clay sketch (6.5x3.5x2.5 inches) of Jesse W Fell which will help me  clarify the major forms and a possible base that will work with the other sculptural elements of the bust.

The next step will be to create a half- size maquette clay bust, before I start on the final project.

I thought that I should study the skull some more if I am going to do some portrait sculpture. The above drawings are charcoal on smooth 18”x 24” newsprint.

Sculpture students in the French academies in the 18^th century were required to be able to model a skull from memory.

I however used reference material for help in sculpting the ceramic head study below.

I continue to study the facial features of Mr. Fell in preparation for the completion of a ceramic bust.

I have printed  light  copies of the following photos and have drawn directly on them to help me find and define the form.As can be observed I have over emphasized the shapes created by the varied forms comprising of the surface anatomy of the face in my attempts to discover this form. Also the drawn lines have been utilized in such a way as to define the contour of these shapes.

-The next step will be a preliminary clay study. (sketch)
