Step 1: Getting Started
Using purple clay, make a heart shape. It should be fairly flat with rounded edges. You can make a light line down the middle of it to help keep your details centered.
Using a thin snake of red clay outline the design that will form the middle of the face. Once you are satisfied with the shape you can fill it in with red clay. Carefully smooth it out.

Using your clay tool make two holes for the eyes.
Fill the holes using yellow or orange clay to make the eyes. Add a small spot of green in the middle for the iris and a black spot inside of that for the pupil.
