Learn how to create your own version of one of Sandy's most popular sculptures: the steampunk dragon.
This class covers all the steps in this very detailed project.
**** We start with where to find inspiration for the attitude, mood and pose of your dragon. You'll get ideas for props, inclusions and extras.
**** Then we'll build an armature that will be the skeleton for your dragon’s body. You'll learn how to build it and get tips for achieving exactly the look you want.
**** Next we'll add fun details including faux metal plates, steampunk gears, and the coolest looking wings. You can even give your dragon its own brass goggles!
We'll also look briefly at how gears in a clock actually work. Nothing too technical, but it will help us get a more realistic effect.
Along the way Sandy will show how to correct problems, personalize your project and give design tips so that when are you done you will have an amazing piece of art!
