Now that the basic sculpting is completed, the task of smoothing the alien begins. The first step is to sand with 100-grit sandpaper. That will reveal even more bumps, cracks and divots. I mark the divots with pencil, then fill them with spots of paper clay. After that, more sanding.
The deep divot in the side of the head is actually an intentional dent for an ear hole. I'm not going to sculpt a full ear because I'd rather leave the option open for the figure builder. This alien could have pointy ears, small exotic ears, flappy ears... or just an earhole.
