Preparation

Now you've got the clay and the tools, you can start sculpting...
If you've got an idea what you want to sculpt...
And if you have: did you work it out? Do you know how you want te (re)create your idea in three dimensions?
If not, read on.
It's good practice to work out your idea before starting to sculpt. You can make some sketches, look at real life examples or photo's of the things you want to sculpt so you can create a three dimensional image of your model.



In the next few pages I'll share some of my ideas and sketches of the models I made over the years with you to give an example of how you can work out an idea. I'll also provide you with some links and pictures of professional (fantasy-related) artists.
