Scenes from an Imaginary Folk Festival #4

I sculpted another character for my 'May Parade' this past weekend. He's Denzil the Drum and he leads the parade along with the Mock Mayor.

I started, as always, with a sketch and then a rough armature of aluminium wire and kitchen foil.

I then fleshed out the figure with a mix of Super Sculpey and CosClay. CosClay has some flexibility after baking whereas Sculpey is rigid. But both clays can be used together. Here's a video of the build:

I'm really rather pleased with this one and - like the previous sculpts - I've learned some new techniques along the way.

Who will be next to join the parade I wonder?
