Like with all things...the more information the better. Also, practice makes perfect. There are many good resources like these forums that provide vast amounts of knowledge, tutorials, and links for sculpting. Remember that learning is a process, so don't get frustrated if your first piece does not turn out like a Micheangelo, Rodin, Bowen, Villafane, Sosa, Shiflett, Hansen, Cleary, Nagle, Needham, just to name a few of my inspirations. Some of these guys are naturally talented, but I would imagine that it took a few trys to get it just right. Have fun...and be open to criticism (feed back).
