I have been seeing artist making clay figurine as their commission order and chibi clay figurines of their customers , I really want to make my own but I am confused as to how the thing words especially when it comes to sculpting their clothes and hair , would really appreciate some advice on how to do it or if anybody has any good tutorial recommendations from YouTube.

I am planning to launch my small buisness shop and at initially I thought using dmtobuy.com but they sort of had a weird issue so I decided to shift to shopify and I am skeptical about it cause i a video of an artist's product were made accessible to chatgpt or ig openai without their permission and they didn't even have an option to opt out of it but the other hand I saw some creators having a smooth time with it , so I am sort confused about it and since my website will not just be product related .

So I work with cold porcelain clay and it's a soft clay but even after properly conditioning I find cracks in it , idk if it's due to the clay texture changing cause of humidity in my area cause my studio gets really hot and humid but it doesn't hardens, it becomes really soft when i condition it but even after conditioning it in every way possible their is still cracks.

Secondly idk after sculpting my clay charms trying my best to clean it with Q tips and alcohol their is still some sort of weird dust that gets on it and even after cleaning it leaves a weird mark on my clay and I don't even want to ask about lint cause I have given up on it.

New to videography

Hello everybody I am super new to videography and for starters i am just watching YouTube videos and it has been overwhelming with all the information and equipment wise all I have is samsung f42 model phone , a tripod and right now I am using all the free camera apps such as open camera app , and my phone doesn't support the black magic cam, it's overwhelming since I am trying to save for a new phone and the shots ideas in my head don't quiet match with when I try to film, I am trying to keep my expectations of cinematic shots low since I am a begginner but I would really appreciate some advice on how to properly do things since I am always going back and forth on YouTube videos and I rush a lot while filming , I really want to make the best and proper use of the low budget equipment I have.
