added comment inHow to Make Reusable Molds from a Clay Sculpture
there's any difference on the type of the plaster you are using? when I went to the store, there were 3 different types. i wasn't sure about which one i should use.

I think this is just regular plaster of Paris I know there are different types that harden faster or slower and are harder or softer but I haven't looked into those differences too much. If I cast in plaster I try to use a harder plaster though like Hydrostone plaster.

Hi Andrew, I am kind of finishing my scupture and I realized that the texture is not as realistic I would like. Do you have any tip to how create a realistic texture on the skin?

Yeah this video and the ones before and after it in the figure sculpting course might help.

texturing is a tricky thing and it just takes time and practice to get good. You might also see if there are videos of people doing the specific texture you're going for and you can see their process of creating a realistic texture.
Make sure all of the underlying forms are accurate too before worrying about texture. Great texture won't fix bad or misshapen forms. Good luck!

Hi Andrew. Do you have any clay brand that you prefer? Or that you indicated?

I really like Chavant NSP medium clay. I also recently did a video about some inexpensive Dollar Tree clay that's not bad.
