Hi, Im Michael (19). This is my first torso what i made from material called ytong (you may know it from building industry, where is used instead of brick). Its very easy to do sculpting with this, becouse its very soft and lightweight.

This is a substractive sculpture and my model was antique sculpture the Herkules Farnese.

Height: 20"










I´d like to hear you opinions.

Apart from the upload images being way too big to really view it properly, I think you have done a very good job. You can really feel the muscles. Looks a little top wide and skinny towards the bottom (like a triangle shape) but other then that, no criticism

Argh, file size!!! Looks good tho, I've never seen anyone do this kind of work with this material before. Ytong (?) is also known as Hebel (a trademarked name). You can get it in blocks and slabs, and is easy to glue into a larger form by using polymer based construction glues such as PVA or Bondcrete.
