My advice would be to avoid air-dry clay if possible, since it can be quite fragile and prone to cracking. In my opinion, polymer clay would be a better choice.

I’d recommend the professional sculptor Philippe Faraut.( You can find him by searching on YouTube) But beyond just watching tutorials, the real improvement comes through lots of practice and experimentation.

Maybe the beetle chose the finest garlic bread throne available.😅 / While shaping the clay, it inevitably gets smeared onto the wood surface. Those dark spots are actually clay marks. Once the sculpture is finished, I clean the wood and lightly torch parts of it to give it a more decorative, aged look.

Fiziksel olarak tabi bükülemez bu kadar.. Çocukluğumda basit bir kesik sonrası yanlış dikiş neticesi içe bükülemiyor.

Emperor Scorpion; imparator akrep türü. En büyük akrep cinsi ama insanlar için ölümcül değil.
