Sand paper is your FRIEND!! It can make a huge difference in fine details, and helping you to create a sharp edge. I use grit ranging from 120 to 380 grit. The higher the number, the more fine your sandpaper is. I use 120 to sand edges and shape, and then I follow behind that with a fine grit to remove sanding lines.
As you can see in the image above, sanding allowed me to sculpt in the "bones" of my bat wing, and then create a crisp edge that made the wing more realistic once it was painted. I also use this trick when sculpting clothing on my art dolls.

Wow, I love this. The bat wing, with the background piece fits right into my esthetic. I have a friend who would love to own something like this, you did a really great job. Thank you for sharing.
