Greg Polutanovich, a master sculptor who works in several fields, from model kit to movie's especial effects to realistic portraits. His pieces are extremely detailed combining cruel and rough fantasy with real and incredible look. Some of his pieces won several awards…

Slowly rotate your sculpture and look at the outlines of your shapes and forms.If your outlines are pleasing to the eye,you have it going on. Back light your sculpture in a dark room and if you have a strong silhouette,you have it going on. Go to a museum or read books about period sculpture for inspiration. If you see something that needs changing, do it no matter how long you spent
working on that area. Sculpt wrinkles in a series of three strokes.This is called the X, Y pattern.Cross two wrinkles to make an X,then branch off one wrinkle from the X to make a Y. Stylize the three stroke pattern over and over again to create very cool and interesting wrinkles. To create a goose flesh texture is to make a bowl out of the clay that you are using and pore a little bit of 91% alcohol into it.Then use a stiff brush to mix it into the clay until the alcohol absorbs into the clay ,creating a thick film.Use a ball tool to dip into the thick film and dot it on your sculpture one at a time or you can use your thick brush with a splatter effect. Above all,don't get discouraged.You can't expect quick results.If a sculpture doesn't come out the way you want
it,you'll get it the next time around. After all of these years of sculpting, I still can't always pull it together.

Advice to new sculptors or amateurs sculptors: My advice to a new sculptor is just keep doing what you are doing. Try to relax and have fun.Nothing comes easy,sculpting takes a lot of time
and patience. Get to know and understand your anatomy. Creature sculpting is fun but if you can't sculpt accurate human proportions,you still have a lot to learn. The key to becoming a quick and efficient sculptor is to try and get it right the first time. The worst thing is to have to back track to fix the proportions.In most cases if you have to fix one proportion then you have to fix another and then another. So,keep an eye on your proportioning through the whole process.
