well my clay came before my garage kits... so i guess i will make ugly figures first. i bought mostly Japanese stuff like the clay, primer, gloss, finisher, masking tape, putty. i just wish my figures will turn out like one on left... it was a little difficult finding what type of clay and other stuff to get from literally knowing noting and failing art in highschool. recently my friend graduated from art school so i am going to pay them for concept art of nau to better model stuff

gah, now I'm tempted to get into clay modeling and I know I will buy the stuff, mess around with it once, and let it sit there （ ´,_ゝ`）
maybe... its naut worth it if you are not wanting to get the Japanese suff, my Europe friend who graduated art school even said "pretty fucking hard, I made this little guy once(file). it was pretty easy because he is tiny and doesn't really have limbs XD but I tried to do a russia chan, now that was difficult. you gotta have legit tools for figurines" they also said they wish they had metal rods they use for support and "use those that the jp use. many of the clays are straight ass" but yeah to get my hands on the airdry clay teh japs use was like 20$ for about a pound. and pack of sculpting spatula use in the video was about 20$ too, (could have honestly spent like 7$ but wanted the same tools) then the brushes... masking tape.. primers.. metal wire.. acrylic. primer. varnish, gloss, pastels, masking tape. and prob a set of other 6 tools i bought but forgot to mention. it cost really money (;´Д`) putty, clips, glue, more putty, potrolum jelly, pin vice, sand paper.., acrylic paint thinner. but its all bought! so i will soon be making a figure. start simple nau and then do heyuritan and salva. and if it still sucks then its okay as its OC ヽ(´∇`)ノ
running into a issue with the wire i bought. i got galvanised steel wire for teh grage kits but it is to strong for making sculping. i need aluminum witch is softer and more light weight. i can still bend the galvanized wire but wow. its a pain
i did order better wire and a cutting/sculpting mat. (it was jut a regular craft mat that JP said works as good. after studying mats. just having glass like surface is absolute best for clay. but craft cut mats works as good,. tho i dont have a rolling pin （ ´,_ゝ`）) >>132 please wait until i try. its hard to resist. but as a person who cant even draw. -> https://oekaki.nashikouen.net/potiboard.php?res=3 https://oekaki.nashikouen.net/potiboard.php?res=17 https://oekaki.nashikouen.net/potiboard.php?res=28 https://oekaki.nashikouen.net/potiboard.php?res=175 you should wait untill i make at least 2-3 figures.... if i do not deliver 3. then take ur best judgement. as links above is what i do compared to time and quality.... as i never done art seriously until nashi...
>>135 fair enough what brand of clay did you get (say it after you've started working with it though)
