The tutorial says to get a sort of mini-cone-shaped tool (like a sharpened pencil shape but without the splinters) and use that in a rolling + up or down motion to smooth the clay and meld pieces together. That's good.
But when I do (I don't know if I explained it well enough) it either turns out rough, or it takes a chunk out of whatever arm/leg/piece I was attaching so it's no longer cute.
I'm wondering how to go about doing it without ruining the shape of the clay.
For an example, how did she smooth on the tentacles of this seagod in such small proximity without ruining either the pieces of tentacle or his mouth-area?
HELP!
