Hey all! I'm gonna be starting my adventures in 3D Palaeoart soon. This'll be the first time I've really looked into sculpting, and I'll probably be a bit naff at it, so I'll try to post semi-regular updates, including pictures from my awful phone camera (you poor souls) and hopefully we can all learn something. I've ordered some modelling clay, so I'll probably post a few updates sometime next week as I start to figure out the basics of form, texture, and all that. Hopefully this eventually ends up with me making proper painted sculpts, but I wouldn't hold ya breath for anything too fancy!
Stay tuned for some whacky Dinosaur crap an' stuff.

Ah, the third dimension, a terror for many artists. You should keep the weight of your sculptures in mind, or else you'll be dealing with parts falling and not staying! Weight has cost me quite a few sculptures before.
You should also invest in a pottery knife, a wire-loop tool, a rolling pin, and a spray bottle. I've found those tools to be the most helpful when sculpting.
Good luck!

Aye. I'm not going to be investing in setting clays just yet. I'm getting me some plasticine - that way, if I mess up, I can just re do it. Thank you for your concern though! And I am going to see what tools I can find, but a quick search on Amazon showed a bunch of expensive sets with an incomplete range of tools (10 piece sets of round ended tools, etc.) so I might start browsing local art shops to see what they have.
