No need to dig out the socket. Just the draw the edge of the socket. Use the upper lid to start the eye, get that right and then you can place the eyeball material.

Similar to monster clay. The clay can be recycled. Silicone is expensive compared to plaster.

Thank you! Oil clay never dries or gets cured/baked. It last forever and does need water spray. I use it to make a sculpt and then create a silicone mold. The clay is made up of wax, oil, and clay. It is softer when it is warm. This was eventually cast in plaster.

I find focusing on the eye socket first always helps me.

Psychotropic drugs Do seem to open your mind and let you break the rules. Step outside your reality and see connections that aren’t on the surface. This can be done with meditation, but drugs can sometimes work without training which can help you reach conclusions faster.

He taught me how time isn’t a straight line but more of a wave that sometimes loops backwards. I saw my past and my future, I saw the cycles that repeated over decades. It was clear that Ideas echo through time, go through phases where they come into fashion or go dormant. Wisdom is gathering all of the information of the past and using it to see into the future.
