Step-by-step body sculpting exercise for a man

Choose a figure of a man in any position and take care of pictures from all directions. You can find pictures of models online or take pictures of someone you know. It is not recommended to choose a male body with clothes as the clothes blur the anatomical structure and make it difficult to identify the proportions and body structure as it is. Full nudity is not required, you can settle for a body-colored leotard. 

For the exercise and understanding the anatomy, use the diagram Human body proportions.

To sculpt a standing figure, it is necessary to assemble a construction for the sculpture - Supportive auxiliary structure.

A sculpture that has a construction - it cannot be burned and it is necessary to make a mold and then cast it. Therefore, this exercise is recommended for sculptors who are already experienced in making molds or are ready to turn to the services of a professional caster.

Start by covering the construction with clay and gradually cover it all. In this sitting there is no need to be precise, just put clay roughly according to the volumes of the figure. Make sure that no construction remains exposed and that the adhesion of the pieces of clay is good and stable.

Once the entire construction is covered in clay and you have a rough structure of a man's body proceed to process the sculpture and precision volumes and details.
