How to sculpt a head out of clay

Step 2Mold the clay onto the foam head

Mold the clay onto the foam head
Mold your clay onto the foam head to cover it entirely. I recommend taking a chunk of clay, rolling it into a snake like figure, and then placing it on the foam head. This will help you to more evenly distribute clay so it's not lumpy.

You'll need to continue wetting the clay gingerly to help you mold.

At this stage, make sure to cover the head with a good layer of clay. If it's too thin, it will crack and your sculpture will go from art to looking like something out of Thriller.

Once you're done covering the head, we can begin to add the facial characteristics.
