Description
Decided to do a tutorial, using a Tengu as the basis for this new pendant.I hope you all enjoy and that you can figure out what I'm trying to say here. I do, in fact, own sculpting tools, but I lost them somewhere in my house, and rather than dig them out for no reason, I made do with what I had. This goes to show that you don't need to shell out for fancy tools just to make something cool. You just need similar stuff.
But you don't have to make a tengu. This is the same method I used for both of these: [link] [link]

^__^ I like it. And I don't expect anyone's to be just like mine. That's what makes it fun!

I'm relieved I'm not the only one who uses the highly useful learning aid of color-coded words when trying to explain something off of photos. You rock!

Thank you! Yes, I like knowing what I'm getting into, and having to scroll back and forth to reference "WTF is that again?" is rather annoying.

Not to make an Oni/Tengu, but I definitely save this as a basic help on sculpting faces

Well, hey, that's the good thing about Oni/Tengu. They're so exaggerated, that making normal faces is simple as toning down what you make. Cheers!

So nice to see a good tutorial recommending interesting tools. Well done!

Yay! Thank you. Yeah, I didn't want to pretend that everyone would have all the nice, sparkly tools you find in a craft store. Also, some of those are meant for silt-based/mud clays, which you can "carve out." Sculpey reacts so differently, I think it's easier to build up.

Definitely. I haven't worked with their new firm product, but otherwise additive seems much easier. Less frustrating anyways.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, especially since Sculpey has the advantage of just adding a little body warmth to rework it. Silt based dries, cracks and crumbles,and it's harder to go back and add or subtract without potential for destroying it.

I just started using polymer clay and it will be interesting trying this out ^^

Woot! Let me know how it goes!

Will do

Me too! I've never really made a tutorial before, so I'm hoping it is easy to understand!

Ouch I meant I hope it comes out good. I have no idea why i wrote "okay good" lol.
The tutorial looks easy to understand, I haven't tried it yet but I think for me it would just be trying to shape everything when adding clay to the face. Like the teeth and making it all seem so smooth ._.

That's why you get a flat little thing to smooth it out. Trust me, it's all trial and error. X3

True true

If you use a metal tools, hold them in your hands to warm them before you apply them to the clay.

Oh thanks for the tip

^^ Your skills are so amazing. I look forward to seeing both of the sword piece and the tengu completely done!
<.< Knowing me..I'd give up right when starting but will keep the tutorial just in case.

Hey, you never know. Much of the time, I just improv.
The good thing about clay is that if you add too much, you can remove it and do it again!
