I am a fair sculper I can do a lot of the easy stuff bu at this point I am going to do 12 extensive conversions the will require lots of Green stuf work. Have made a few full models and more hats than one could shake a stick at. But I want to learn more.
How do I best use green stuff gray stuff. Tutorials i want tutorials but I have not found any good ones that can really help me a my level.
Does any one know of any good tutorials for clothing.

at first I though it was the holy grail of tutorials but it is missing a lot of the YouTube tutorials so I am still looking for a good one showing how to to buttons and stitches.

I'm pretty impressed by anyone with sculpting skills.

Can't wait to see what you're working on.

Don't worry about it. Sculpting is tactile. Only learn so much from watching someone else work anyways. Gotta just get your fingers in the stuff and start mushing it around. Work slow, layer by layer and work on multiple figures at the same time so you don't waste putty and drying time. I usually have one pure experimental figure for extra putty, just blob it on there and see what evolves. Sometimes it's a pleasant suprise. Also, don't be afraid to file/sand/cut down bits that are not working.

I get what you mean. Watching and listening to somone is not doing to make my hand steady or my tools any better but I am looking for some tricks to solve visual and sculptural problems.
The advice you give about working on multiple projects at once is very good. I do it when I paint so I can see how it would be very helpful when I sculpt. I am keen to learn more tricks like this.
As for cutting and sanding. I am afraid I do not know how to sand green stuff. It cuts rather well but it is not that good for sanding and what do you sand it with.
