When I started sculpting one of my mentors told me that I shouldn’t be afraid of messing something up because one of the major benefits of working in putty is that if you make a mistake it’s easy to carve away whatever the problem is and have another go. It sounds like a really simple idea but when I was just starting out I found it difficult to put that idea into practice. Once I got the hang of it my work improved by leaps and bounds.
