Now you've been provided the basics of how to create a model, it's time to create your own!

As artists strive to create work that's their signature style, you're very much encouraged to really think about character design. Start by looking at other work that inspires you. What do you want your creation to look like? What features and facial expression should they have? What pose? What should they wear?

Remember to think creatively. How can you make your design different to the example given in this class? Perhaps you'd like to apply the 'bake and build' principles to a different character altogether, such as a zombie, a fairy or a humanoid creature.

It might be useful to make notes on your experience with polymer clay and model making as you go along, i.e. what helped you to solve a specific problem, and you're very much encouraged to share your findings with your classmates.

Once you've completed your project work, remember to:

Feedback on your learning experience and share an image of your character or cake topper.
