first time with clay

i happen to be at the sculpting section of the art store that i frequent for my painting supplies yesterday, and thought "why not?"

i have no idea how to go about it but well, a face emerged!
the clay dried so fast that it was really hard to knead them into places...or maybe i didin't knead them the right way?.

how i wish i could just fly out of Malaysia and take a professional course on sculpting.
