what area will you be putting the icons on and how big will they be?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240627/722774.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240627/722774.page GMT Re:Need Help With Sculpting!
tweezers
pins or needles
scalpel
pens but without the ink stalk in them ( for making lenses of various sizes)
a nail file
small scissors


and always use wet hands and instruments otherwise youll get finger print marks on it and the green stuff will stick to the instruments

What I would recommend to a novice sculptor is to maybe use Grey Stuff (ProCreate) as it is less sticky and a little more forgiving, and it is easier to create sharp edges in grey stuff when you are starting out, compared to green stuff... If you do want to use green stuff, you can make it a bit easier to work with by mixing in a bit of FIMO into the green stuff before use (at a ratio of about one part fimo to four parts GS).

Get yourself a decent set of sculpting tools and a couple of clay shapers (a flat chisel head, and a tapered head one are probably all you would need) and practise, practise, practise!!

Man, if I could lick my own tools, I'd... nevermind.
