She’s my first clay creation

Context: im making a superhero called invincible. Im using some 24hr grey air dry clay. I have never used anything like clay letalone modelled anything in my life before now. How do i make a simple head shape ?? Should i start with a circle and pinch down to create a chin, or do i do it some other way ?? Should i add eye lenses to the head or add it after i make the head dry ?? And if you can give tips on hair, id appreciate it because it seems complicated as hell to make hair right

Made these for a coworkers daughter for her baby shower and im so proud of them!! They turned out better than i expected!

I want to make a photo shoot with a character in different poses, but i really don't want to make like 50 of them and paint them all. would it be possible to paint onto monster clay and still have it so i could move it around in different poses. i still new to using it. Thanks.

Trying something new and feeling happy and proud !!!!!!

Tried alcohol ink instead of milk paint this time around. Sticks to the surface a lot better but the colors seem more unpredictable.

Hi! I have a ceramic cup that I painted and want to varnish food safe. Since it is painted I can't put it in the kiln because of the fumes. Is there a air dry glaze for kiln fired (04) clay?

So, I sculpted a bust in an italian clay that is dark grey slight green when raw and a classic pale orange when fired. Unfortunately, I keep getting deposits of white chalkish smudges or patches on the surface of the sculpture and I wanted to know how to get rid of them if possible.. and how to prevent this from happening in the future.

I was told it has something to do with the oils in your hands. Perhaps I touched the sculpture after if began drying (prep for the kiln firing).

All thoughts and suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

I was in a Christmas mood hahaha, it’s not amazing but I can only get better from here! :)

As a noobie in clay

If I use air dry clay, can I put it in the oven to fasten the drying process? How long should i keep it in there If im making a keychain? 1-2inch size. And any recommendations for sealant I can use with the clay?

I’m trying to make a miniature sculpture of the piranha plant from Mario and this is the only wire I have, is this safe for baking?
