The female figure metal works start out as a sketch using a live girl as a model. The modeling sessions last approximately four hours each and it generally takes three working sketches to get a single production sketch that can be successfully translated into a finished wire frame piece.

Using live models assists in getting correct proportions and allows the model to be moved to get accurate angles and facial features. Also, being able to move her allows for a pose that will be a good fit for a wire frame and can compensate for not being able to use shading. Models also quickly become good at getting into poses that are comfortable which translates into a relaxed and natural finished work.
