I have started a new piece in the Big series. This one is so far the biggest in the series.
At the moment I have no clue how it will end. All I know is that I want some kind of a 3D effect which I'll achieve by cutting her our of the Wedi board.
I painted the board roughly white so it will be easier to sketch her.
I have decided to make a "dynamic" contour. I cut randomly black glass using wheeled nippers. I don't plan the cuts. The curve is made naturally by the nippers. I'll cut a lot and then I'll choose the ones to use.
When I lay the contour I don't try to be precise. on the contrary, the "shaking" line and the imperfect connections make it very lively and cheerful.

2 - chin in which is good, but it is too big
3 - this part of the chin is write
4 -this neck is too old
5 - finally the right chin and the the right neck
This process took about an hour.
In the following photos you can see how I do the knee -

It matches better. I don't have a photos of that. I owe you one.
By the end of the day - 5-6 hours - this is what I managed to do:
