Shape the shape and structure of the heel, as well as rounding the foot and cutting to align the top of the cylinder.
Once you have obtained the basic shape of the foot, cover the foot with plastic wrap and leave for partial drying and stabilization.
Moved on to work on the details, marking and shaping nails and toe joints. Add and remove clay where needed, smooth and shape the overall look. Rotate and work on the foot from all directions until you reach a result that is satisfying to your eyes and reliably reflects your foot.
