"Ouch!" - (SJ21.18)

SculptJanuary is an event that aims to encourage artists to sculpt more by providing them with 31 topics to complete during the month of January. It is organized by CG Boost.
There are no prizes involved, but it can make you a better sculptor.
In 2021 I completed all 31 topics - most in January, a few in February.

"Ouch!" was the topic of SculptJanuary 2021 Day 18.
