I’ve recently gotten some soft Fimo clay but only got it in white since online it says you can colour it with chalk pastels (which I own). I’ve used them to colour but the colour is hard to get dark and it makes the clay quite a different texture and wanted to know if there’s better options to colour the clay that anyone else uses? I’m considering just buying different colours of the clay but wondered if there’s any cheaper or easier ways to do it with the white clay I’ve already got.

My very first sculpture. Techniques learnt and inspired by YouTube aceofclay.

Hope you guys like it c:

This artist makes most her work out of paper clay (I think just a regular air dry?) and air dry resin clay but the ones she used in the video are Japanese brands and are extortionate prices to get in the UK and I'm not sure of an alternative. Lots of other people use regular polymer clay but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the whole baking aspect but still want these pieces to be smooth and relatively lightweight. Is there a way I can achieve this without using clay I have to bake?

Here's my latest sculpture. Crash Bandicoot but with an RE twist.
