get some modeling clay and carve away!!!

use your carving tools just like you would for wood, the only cuts you will make will be in the clay. After you cut a while, stand back, look at your work. When you get happy, keep the clay piece and transfer that to wood....OR, if the clay carving doesn't make you happy, smash it down, make a chunk and carve it again....
