Sculpting wax is wax that is sculpted. There are several different varieties. Some are more malleable than others. Sculpting wax also comes with different grades of resistance to heat. It depends on what type of project you are working on as to which type you may prefer to use. Some times it is sculpted with tools just like clay. Other times it is melted and poured into molds.

Busts are sculptures showing only the top part of the human body, the head and some partial of the shoulders and the chest.
Sculpting a bust does not differ from any other sculpting, the basic methods are the same, depending only on the material you are using.
Making a bust out of clay is the easiest, as you can add material too, instead of only removing material.
Whatever your material is, the entire work starts with planning and measuring carefully. Making a sculpture requires a keen eye for the three-dimensional proportions, which only comes from dozens of hours practising.
One cannot teach you to make a bust by written text only, but I can delineate few steps for you (assuming stone or wood the material):
Step 1: choose your model, tools and material
Step 2: draw your model on paper and or take photographs of her. Remember to take pictures of her from every angle.
Step 3. Scetch your sculpture on paper, transfer measures from the model
adjust the measures to fit your scale.
Dtep 4:Outline the rough quidelines on your material, transfer measures on your material, plan cutting angles and make preparations for cutting
note: when cutting round shapes it is best to first cut guiding cuts to access the curve, the result would look like a comb; small direct cuts from the exterior to touch the curve. After you have done this, you can cut small pieces off, one at a time, without having to worry the entire sculpture might break.
Step 5: flow. This is the part what most artists call the flow. It means loosing oneself entirely on the task, the hands and tools doing their work, eyes observing the process and hands doing adjustments. Depending on your material and the amount of details, this part may take from 6 hours to a month.. or more
Step 6: when the bust is almost ready, take the sketch and photos in front of you and start working on the details. Carefully copying the likeness of her on the sculpture.
Step 7: when you are happy with the likeness, then comes finishing. With stone it is polishing, with wood it is lacquer or tan or paint. Sometimes wax or oil. Wooden sculpture should have something as a protective layer. The most used is flax oil.
Why is wire good for making sculptures?
Wire is used to create a frame, or skeleton, which holds the medium (clay usually) in place. Wire could also be used as the primary medium for a sculpture.
Wire is pliable and easy to shape and hold that shape while other mediums are applied.
