I finished with some minors on the palm and fingers.

# data[].attributes.body
I did the same on the palm side.

# data[].attributes.body
I fixed the knuckles again because they still looked a bit drawn on.

# data[].attributes.body
I slip and scored the pinkie back on.

# data[].attributes.body
I made the knuckle majors more rounded.

# data[].attributes.body
I started knuckle majors.

# data[].attributes.body
Pinkie fell off again, but I started palm majors.

# data[].attributes.body
I started working on the majors in my fingers.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the thumb when it is longer.

# data[].attributes.body
I slip and scored the thumb back on, but added a lot more clay to make the thumb longer because it was way too small before.

# data[].attributes.body
The thumb fell off :/

# data[].attributes.body
I did some touch ups on the finger shape and webbing depth.

# data[].attributes.body
I added clay to the bottom of the palm so that the palm would roll into the wrist.

# data[].attributes.body
I added thickness to the palm where needed.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the pinkie after I cleaned it up more and I also took this chance to shave down the webbing a bit to make it more realistic and accurate.

# data[].attributes.body
I slip and scored my pinkie finger back on, but it got a little flattened out, so I had to fix that.

# data[].attributes.body
My pinkie fell off, so I sculpted it separately. I also pulled back the webbing and started my thumbnail (it took me a few times to get that finger right).

# data[].attributes.body
I started taking out the webbing between the fingers.

# data[].attributes.body
I finished the three middle finger nails before finishing the thumb and the pinkie. I also added a bit of wrist while the clay was still wet.

# data[].attributes.body
I pulled the metacarpal forward to make the thumb more realistic and put a ball of clay in the palm to hold its shape.

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to round the nail so it looked more three dimensional and not drawn on.

# data[].attributes.body
I went in to do the fingernails before the clay got too dry at the ends.

# data[].attributes.body
I started shaping the knuckles and sides of the hand.

# data[].attributes.body
I started rounding off the corners and the fingers.

# data[].attributes.body
First I rolled my slab into a ramp shape the thickness of my hand and traced my hand before cutting it out.

# data[].attributes.body
I repeated the process with another ladder and cleaned them up.

# data[].attributes.body
Then I cut out pieces to make a ladder, waited for it to dry, and then slip and scored it together.

# data[].attributes.body
I cleaned up both sides.

# data[].attributes.body
I did the same to the other mini box.

# data[].attributes.body
I attached smaller pieces to each side of the bottom of the smaller squares so it can hold soil and plants (or whatever I end up using it for).

# data[].attributes.body
Then I made two mini squares in diagonal corners of the larger square.

# data[].attributes.body
When everything was cut out I started putting together the outline until I had all four sides.

# data[].attributes.body
…Continued…

# data[].attributes.body
I started cutting out the pieces I would use for the planter boxes in each corner of the square.

# data[].attributes.body
I started cutting out slabs that I would make a maze out of inside the box, but I ultimately decided to go a different route.

# data[].attributes.body
I started by cutting out my slabs that would make up the square outline of my project. This took me a few tries as I tried to find a perfect width and length that would look good and be structurally sound.

# data[].attributes.body
I decided to sculpt what I believe represents what I aspire to study and be in the future. I have played sports my whole life and soccer has played a prominent role in who I am for the past 12-13 years. Naturally, playing for so long and at such competitive levels, I have suffered a few injuries. My dad is a retired professional mountain bike rider and has faced far worse injuries than me. Due to his amble knowledge of the subject, he often helps me diagnose my pain. This inspired me to grow my knowledge of physiology and I even took Anatomy and Physiology at San Marcos High School this year (2022-2023). I love this class and it is the first academic class that I have been excited to study for. I decided to make a skull and bones to symbolize this passion of mine.

# data[].attributes.body
I redefined the brain and the teeth and then smoothed everything out.

# data[].attributes.body
I finished the bones and made some of them 3D.

# data[].attributes.body
I carved some of the bones out and made some of them appear submerged in the wall.

# data[].attributes.body
I finished drawing out the bones.

# data[].attributes.body
I began drawing out the bones.

# data[].attributes.body
I slip and scored my skull to my backboard.

# data[].attributes.body
I hollowed out the brain and attached it to the skull

# data[].attributes.body
I cut out a chunk of the skull for the brain.

# data[].attributes.body
I made a brain by coiling up rolled out clay.

# data[].attributes.body
I hollowed out the skull and accidentally carved out the eyes and nose too thin, but covered it up after.

# data[].attributes.body
I carved out the bottom teeth.

# data[].attributes.body
I started carving out the top teeth.

# data[].attributes.body
I worked on the other side of the skull.

# data[].attributes.body
I defined the side of the skull.

# data[].attributes.body
I outlined the teeth.

# data[].attributes.body
I built on the jaw today.

# data[].attributes.body
I began sculpting the temples.

# data[].attributes.body
I continued defining eye brow bridge, nose, and cheek bones.

# data[].attributes.body
I started building the eye ridge.

# data[].attributes.body
I carved out the eyes.

# data[].attributes.body
I started off by connecting a sphere to a cube to create a skull shape and then I drew reference lines that will help me get started with sculpting.

# data[].attributes.body
I finished by making the long end on the South side and connecting everything using slip and score.

# data[].attributes.body
I started with the long wall on the North end and then placed the middle pieces.
