A perfect ending to a weird story. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":biggrin:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" /> Listen to Travis you must! I've destroyed numerous sculptures just to turn them into another character entirely....It's definitely a great way to learn from your mistakes and get accustomed to seeing images in 3-D. Also, you need appropriate sculpting tools. I'd look for very thin, wire loop tools myself. Those are totally badass. Hobby Lobby sells a mixed package of very finely buffed wooden sculpting tools and 3 decent wire loop tools under the company logo "Loew-Cornell" for like $6 or $7 a package...I picked the best-looking pack off their shelf and they've been working just fine for me ever since. Or you could just buy a better set online for a bit more money...Whichever's most convenient for you.As far as anatomy goes, I'd suggest bodybuilding. Adopt it as a lifestyle. Go to a gym and have a physical trainer teach you how to train the proper way. Over time, you will learn a lot about muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, and all kinds of other neat shit to use in sculpting applications...AND you'll be making your own body very healthy and strong in the process. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":tongue:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"tongue.gif\" /> What've you got to lose?Cheers and good luck,Ryan
