What are some effective sculpting techniques for beginners?

For beginners, I recommend starting with techniques like additive sculpting, subtractive sculpting, and modeling with clay.

Can you explain additive and subtractive sculpting?

Sure! Additive sculpting involves building up material to create forms, while subtractive sculpting involves carving away material.

What materials should I use for these techniques?

For additive sculpting, clay or wax is great. For subtractive sculpting, you can use stone, wood, or even foam.

Are there any tips for working with clay?

Yes! Keep your hands moist to prevent cracking, work in small sections, and use tools to refine details.
