How I made this miniature Frost Fairy from making the armature to sculpting, hair & clothing. I've tried to keep this fairly simple so that it's easy to sculpt for beginners too. Check out the 'Fairy Wings' tutorial for how the wings are made.
I have a template of the fairy proportions available to download in my Etsy shop, it's a better quality one than my rough sketch I have used in the video and shows a size guide of the wings. It also lists the materials you will need.
