My Journey into Resculpting - Sculpting the Mane

So today I did the mane. Just like the tail I used the snake method to map out the direction and length of the mane.


Next I began sculpting in the hairs, first I would do some deep grooves, splitting the snakes in two or sometimes three. Next I would do some lighter grooves to add more texture.
My sculpting tool is the end of a paint brush
        

Every so often, I'll brush some rubbing alcohol up the mane to get rid of little balls of clay that will inevitably show up.

It is finished!
The way I do the forelock is the same way I do the manes only with thinner and shorter snakes.
