Ok this had been in the works for a while, I work on it when I can. First off this is one of the first facial sculpts I have done. I'm using monster clay and I have a few Arizona about some different techniques, first off I only have 20lbs of clay so I made a rough sculpt of the head and body and made patterns and transfered to foam and started slinging clay this is what I have now I'm happy with it I'm just curious on how to make finer and larger wrinkles amy suggestions 20141001_203124.jpgScreenshot_2014-11-05-20-35-44.png20141117_195717.jpg20141123_201804.jpg20141221_225328.jpg

Sorry I think they got uploaded out of order but you get the picture
 
You're off to a great start.:thumbsup Hellboy characters are some of my favourites.
For finer wrinkles I'll use a sharpened pencil (or something similar) and then mute the edges, left by the tool, with a small paint brush.
For larger wrinkles, put a piece of plastic wrap on the area to be detailed and tool on top of the plastic wrap. The plastic wrap helps
to 'soften' the marks left be the tool. A dull pencil can be used to dab detail into a large wrinkle. Also, keep on the lookout for things that
can be used as texture stamps, like different types of sponges. Even an orange peel can be used as a 'skin' texture stamp.
I wouldn't worry about making details too fine, by the time it's moulded, cast and painted some of those details might be lost anyway.
I also use a small paint brush dipped in water to smooth out any harsh tool marks.
 
Forgot to mention a little tool I made for lip wrinkles.
A frayed end from a bicycle cable. Flattened and fanned out makes some fine details.
 
Awesome jsher1010 thank you for the tips I'm setting up to do some more work here in a bit hopefully I can post some pics
 
This is cool! The Mr. Wink character's design really inspired my Ganon costume.
It is great too see someone take a shot at sculpting him.
I have a lot of reference pictures of him. So if you need some just let me know.

Loop tools are the way to go on masks like this.
Also rubber nibs for smaller details.
