Version one finished, with red finger, although its the wrong finger, oops.
I then added extra 160's to give a more wrinkled look
and 160 between toes and foot.

I then changed the mouth section as it was too long and
looked ape like so made a little smaller.

Then bulked up the top section of head with an extra 160 around both eyes.

Just a shame I did 4 fingers and not 3 fingers and a thumb
plus his red finger wrong but I made last week, oops.

I was afraid of this challenge as seemed quite complicated.
But when I started twisting it turned out much easier then what I was thinking
..twisting when u don't have a clue helps sometimes...
I just followed a pic of ET...here is my progress..

A few more pictures.

I wanted to make a boys superhero design and seeing as Avengers have been in the cinema lots lately I decided to go with Captain America.

Graham Lee

I made a few shields, rather than clog up this thread I started a new one
where I will post them all and the variations on Captain America design.

This was my favourite shield.
Plus a few others, I made 9 in toatal and all are posted on the thread above.

This was one that really did challenge me as I made the body part a few times to get throw striped part right at hiscwaist. Some balloons I make flow from start to finish but this was more tricky, but I got there in the end and quite happy with him.

Graham Lee

It was my turn to choose the challenge so I went with Jasmine from Aladdin.

I decided to make trousers using a heart....a little fiddly using a 6 inch....would be easier with a larger heart.
I could not create the right skin colour as she is lighter than mocha.
But I just used mocha as I felt blush was too pale. I also only had white hearts so I changed the colour on an app as she wears blue green or lilac mostly.

I added details and some bling 😊

Graham Lee

My attempts at Jasmine,
as Danielle said Mocha is too dark and the blush is also not correct.
I tried black inside a blush as well but again struggled with the correct colour tone.

There are slight differences on all three pictures, double waist for balloon.
Inflated and un-inflated for hairband

I then went for version two of Jasmine.
And added a little more bling.
