Now we're going to try to make a very basic figure. We're going to use our body, to make the first figure. You know, as a layout. I'm going to cut two pieces from that one. You have to put this and then this is going to be two slabs. And one slab, here. Over here. And make the other one. Approximately, they have the same kind of shape. It is kind of deep here. As you see, I use this kind of cloth, here. You can use, Burlap. You can use, this is a drop cloth from painting. And it's very good because the clay doesn't stick. You do that on a very clean and plastic surface or wood. It's going to stick on it and it's going to be very difficult, later to clean up. O.k., I recommend you to work always on this kind of surface. And following, we're going to mark our hands in there.
