This, and a few other tutorials have made me picked up sculpting during my vacation. I'm actually right about to go back to Hobby Lobby for some more clay... my first attempts were.... ah ha ha...is that a cat? Oh god... whoo... I made the mistake of using some clay that I guess only expert doll makers could handle (messy messy messy!). I'll take your advice and start with sculpty and super sculpt... and see if turpentine is available to me.

Are there certain brush tips or sizes I really should look for? Any your recommend/have favorites?

I really hope to be good enough that people would like me to sculpt their characters one day. It would be a lot of fun~

"Cut your fingernails" I thought- Yeah right, pro tip just for pros...
Nope.
Seriously guys. Do it.

Wonderful tutorial. Helped so much xD

How do you spot a 3D artist?

Seemingly clueless about seasonal changes, unkempt hair, hasn't been out of the house for months. Flawless, short fingernails.

Haha xD
So true..

This is a lovely tutorial! I have a quick question that I thought into which you might have insight. For my armature and "bulk", I want to use a combination of wire, crumpled paper and masking tape (or tinfoil, that is a good idea), and also some cardboard. My friend seems to think that they are going to burst into flame somehow in the oven, because they are flammable materials (even though they would be covered in Sculpey). What is your take on this?

*Kurokono Mar 12, 2013 Student General Artist

Hello there, sorry for the ridiculously late reply!
If it's still relevant, here's my two cents:

They wont catch on fire. For the sake of your sanity I suggest using tinfoil and wire (they will do the same job much better than masking tape and cardboard, and will be MUCH easier to work with).
You'll be baking your sculpey at a very low temperature (110 - 115 degrees), so there's no need to worry.
However, if you DO experiment with liquids like turpentine, I would be extremely careful since they are flammable substances.
Happy sculpting!

excellent, thank you for the tips! I am looking forward to creating my idea!

I wish you good luck!

I have been wanting to start clay sculpting for years ever since I first did it in my high school art class. This is a great tutorial.
Only thing that disheartened/annoyed me a bit is that my own oven doesn't go below 250 degrees for some bloody reason, so I'll have to find some work-around.
Thank you so so much for giving me a great starting point.

*Kurokono Nov 11, 2012 Student General Artist

Your oven has an option to go under 250 though, right...? (also don't bake in 250)
I'm really glad you enjoyed my tutorial.
And on a side note; you have an amazing gallery. I absolutely love your use of color, its very inspiring. I love how much personality each of your characters have.
