How to sculpt a head out of clay

Step 3Adding facial character to your sculpture

Adding facial character to your sculpture
Here's where the art comes in. Have a photo in front of you of your subject. Refer to the photo often as you add pieces of clay to the sculpture. Mold as you see fit.

There's a trick to adding clay on top of clay: when adding clay on top of clay, you need to have them bind.

4) Attach the two pieces.
