Before you begin:
Our creature is roughly inspired by the shape of a hedgehog, but you can start from any animal, adapting the shape and details as far as your imagination allows.
Begin by forming two equal amounts of clay into balls; the weight of each depends on the amount you feel capable of pinching and the size of the creature you want to make.
