SCULPTING alien Skin

Step 1 ( things I need) (pic1)

 1- Sculpting tool
 2- Hobby knife ( cutter)
 3- Miniature or structure to apply textured skin
 4- Toothpick
 5- Modeling putty (green stuff)
 6- Water
 7- Flat surface
 8- Patience

Step 2 (handling green stuff)

 - Cut a bit of green stuff (GS) and mix it, more yellow better for detail but takes more time to cure and also extremely sticky, more blue have the opposite behavior.

 - In a flat area stretch it until you reach the desired shape and size (pic2)

 - Apply it directly on the miniature (I created a fimo paste interior structure)

 - Use the toothpick and sculpting tool to handle GS, both should be dipped in water to avoid GS sticky properties (pic3)

Step 3 ( texturing)

 - Reshape the GS to fill the interior structure of miniature and cut the excess (pic4)

 - With sculpting tool carve parallel lines gently on GS (pic5)

 - Finally push it towards previous GS module in order to create space for next one (pic6)

 Now that you have done the first module of the skin you just need to repeat the same steps in order to cover all desired surface. The reason why I choose to make the skin in small modules and not all at once is due to the fact you can have more control on the texture. Hope it helps you in your on going sculpting projects.
