There are plenty of tutorials online about sculpting, if you want to learn how to do it. A good one to start with is here: [link]
There are also some things in my scrap folder that you might find helpful/useful if you are wondering about the tools and materials I use.
How do I do it? I make a drawing of what I want to sculpt, I build an armature based on the drawing, and then I add clay to the armature, shape, carve, smooth, and texture it until I am happy with how it looks. It's as simple and difficult and as impossible to describe as that.
The materials listed in that section are pretty much what I use now, and are very similar to the materials used in the tutorial I linked in my first reply.
If you want to know what you need to get started, that's easy. You need clay (such as super sculpey or sculpey firm), armature wire, some tools to shape, smooth, carve and detail the clay, a base for your sculpture, and a concept in mind that you'd like to sculpt.
Also, you might be interested in this tutorial: [link] it was done by a sculptor far more skilled than I, and is pretty similar to how I build up my work.
Thanks for the comment, I'm honored that you enjoy my work!
Too freakin' cute.
