Dear Andrew, first of all let me say, how happy I am that Proko has you as an instructor. I have several questions (I might be repeating queries of others, hoping to increase their chance for the answers :). What materials, tools and learning methods/sources, would you recommend for an absolute beginner? What would you recommend regarding materials, tools and learning sources for somebody who wants to learn to create small sized figurines? Do you have any experience with making molds? If so, what material(s) is suitable for making sculptures that are then used to make molds? Do you have any experience with using molds to create resin or porcelain sculptures? Do you have any experience with painting finished sculptures of polymer clay or resin or porcelain? Thank you :)
