Which is better 1 staight wir or to wires twisted together?
i've been making mine from 2 twist wires
opinions antip are helpful

IMHO twisted wires seem to work better. It gives the clay something to cling onto, not sliding around as it is worked on.

+1 for twisted wire keeping soft clay/putty a bit more stable while sculpting. Just keep it thin enough that the armature doesn't get in the way of your final form (looking at the wire peeking through the arms in your first picture, your only option is to bulk them up, whether you were planning to or not).
