wear surgical gloves to reduce finger prints.

this

sweet piece so far :3

When I was in art class, I learned that the best way to get rid of those is with the backside of a spoon =)! Or you can always wet the area just enough to try and smooth it out that way =)! Hope this helps and this piece is simply fantastic! I'd love to see it completed =)!

Give it a once over with a damp paper towel on your fingertip.

Thats awesome!

looks so cool it,ll be fantastic when finished

Lightly dip a finger or two in water and smooth out the fingerprints. It only takes a little bit.

 ChipNDeath said he uses alcohol on a paintbrush before baking to smooth out fingerprints..

for details like the face, kitty just uses a toothpick or needle...and a lot of time..

oh...and the figure is looking good so far...big improvement from the first one you did

I was just about to suggest he talks to you for tips on the fingerprint too. XD

This looks great!

bit of saliva always works, after curing attack the sculptey with some fine grade wet and dry,

An inspired little piece you've got there. Coming up very nice.

I agree this is the best angle snap of her. Can't wait to see it when it's completed.

When working with greenstuff (a two party modeling putty, might work different than what you're using), you can generally dip your smoothing tool in vaseline and rub out any imperfections. The vaseline keeps the greenstuff from sticking to the tool. I don't know how vaseline might react to whatever you're using (sculpy?).

oooo looks cool

looks very promising so far. ^^

as for the eyes... don't know if this works, since I'm not sculpting myself, but.. the iris of an eye is always flat, with the orb of the cornea above it. now, after painting the iris I would apply a drop of Krystal Kleer to it, a water-soluble glue which dries clear as glass. it would need a protective layer of clear coat to it, though. it should be available in modeler's shops. this method shurely would beat trying to sculpt the eye and paint it.

unless of course, you have a source for glass bead eyes...

This is amazing! I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this!
