It depends on what you want to sculpt, how fast you want to do it, what the final sculpt is going to be used for, etc. There are a lot of materials to choose from, ranging from actual clays (oil and water based), to waxes, castilene, polymer clay (sculpey, fimo, etc.) and epoxy putty. Is this something you ultimately want to mold/cast, or is the sculpt going to be the final product?
