OMG thanks! I'm not able to buy my own tools at the moment and I haven't really tried traditional sculting, ever. Now I can try without investing too much money before deciding if I like it or not.

[@AndrewJosephKeith]

Yeah exactly. There’s also a lesson on starting sculpting cheap too.

1:08 I love that mentioned finger strength for this stuff. A good trick I’ve found to work on finger strength is to use a wad of fresh, barely used kneaded eraser, that way its firm enough that its a good amount of effort to squish it between your fingers

[@Suzyl19]

Thank you so much for all these tips. This is exactly what I lacked in my learning and thank you for sharing your knowledge with those who cannot take lessons🙏. Your videos are so inspiring 😍

[@antonioblanco3086]

[@Trinnabon]

What is the wooden platform u use for the clay to stick on? Does clay stick on wood? I won’t be able to fire my clay so I guess having it bone dry is fine for now

[@hpyle5592]

I'm surprised the Big Sculpting Tools industry hasn't come for you after revealing these DIY secrets -- watch your back, my friend. They are everywhere...
