When artists would make sculptures how would they make them look so real? What type of special tools?

What tools will I need to start carving marble?

I want to begin carving pipes out of marble as I hear they are the best to smoke out of next to glass. However, I’m unsure of what tools I will need to get started. Anyone know of any marble carving kits available?

Also, where can I buy marble by the pound online? And what’s the going rate?

Any information on this subject is greatly appreciated.
I didn’t ask what are the alternatives to carving marble, nor did I ask how hard it would be or how long it would take. I would appreciate answers to my question, not your “advice”.

And what I’m smoking is irrelevant.

bashfulmonkey asked:

I would prefer “the correct” tools, but basically I am just interested in some advice on what I could use to:

1) chisel it into the rough shape (a fleur-de-lis).
2) finely round and smooth it.
3) polish it.

Also, if you have any advice (I expect that obsidian is rather fragile)…….

I have large quantities so trial and error is definitely an option as I learn.
