Bluebell

Well I'm back! Could I get some feedback please. This figure is not of a real person he has just evolved into this guy! Thanks Alison

Ok, so I’m sorry if I have upset anyone with my request or triggered a negative reaction that has been projected my way… something that you feel very passionate about, but that wasn’t intention. I was hoping to get the support and help with my very small project.. I had no intention of copying anyones work at all hence not needing to pay for the privilege.. and I always pay my dues… Many thanks for the support from others and I will follow the advice and read the links which are really helpful. I have taken some photos myself over the years at nighters or events and my love for northern soul has been constant for years. It is actually my husband who is the sculptor not me but my project is to help create ‘the dancer’ who may just stand on my telly! Alongside Olive Oil dancing on a 45 or Roadrunner with a sax around his neck all brilliant little models hand made on my shelf at home not for sale due to copyright as I,M sure this wouldn’t be allowed. But to design my own impression of the dancer and there may be many of them if it works … from my own mind would be something original but how do I get how the muscle in the back of an arm to look like it’s in motion without being able to see it. Cartoons are just much easier to work with.. Thank again

Thanks for replying I didn’t really want to pay at this stage and I understand that a professional photographer would own the copyrights to their work. So I will need to do my homework and try and find the answers in another way. the problem is trying to create a figure that looks like it’s in motion .. I’m looking for clear photos that are going to help with body posture mid swallow dive, back drop, spin, splits etc all oldies. all photos I can find are on Google I’m not copying the photo maybe trying to look at the positioning thanks for you advice

I would like some help please. I am trying to find authentic dance moves that will encapsulate what's done on the dance floor. This would be really helpful as the aim is to make small models Any help would be appreciated as google is very limited and the same old stuff I know there are some excellent dancers out there that may be happy to share a good photo, but i need a good photographer who would be happy to let me see what they have captured and obviously give permission for me to base my sculptures on their work. Thank you in advance any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards Alison
