1. craft a series of small clay models – this enables him decide on figure positioning

2. Mueck then creates a series of drawings in different sizes – this enables him to make decisions about scale

3. Next, Mueck sculpts the figure in clay – this includes fine details of expression and skin texture

4. a mould of the sculpture is made using silicone (or in the case of larger works, fibreglass).

5. Mueck completes the process by meticulously painting (by hand) finer details (like veins and skin tones) on the surface, before finally sculpting the eyes, bringing his creations to life.
