Hey, darkrterry! Welcome to the thread.

From this example, it's clear you've still got a knack for sculpting. There are a lot of strong things happening in this piece. I certainly support getting back into the sculpting and spending as much time with the clay as you have to spare. Any wonky bits that might be noticeable here will be ironed out in no time flat.

Look forward to seeing your progress!

Hi there! I agree the KU that you've got skills. Only word of advice is to get yourself some Super Sculpey Firm. It's so hard to see your details in regular SS.

got cha, but one problem, israel is realy low on those kind of art supply, we only have sculpey and supersculpey, and it's crazy pricey, but i'm aware of the material, thank for the comment guys, i appreciate it.

Do they have any other polymer clays like Fimo or Cernit? If so you can mix a little black in with your Super Sculpley to get a more opaque gray color. I had no idea how sloppy my sculptures were until I moved to Firm. It really helped me sharpen up my skills.

i got premo, do you think that will do and if it does, how long should i bake it?

Yeah, Premo will totally work. Bake it the same as Super Sculpey. I've found that all polymers have a lot of wiggle room when it comes to baking. As long as you let them sit in the oven for an hour after you turn it off they do really well.
