What I think you should try, and I will try this on Thursday or Friday is this. Get the clay on the armature, smooth it out into a general torso with legs. Then use whatever tools you have on hand in the shop, essentially carve and shape the clay into the figure with clothes. Don’t try the layer method you have been doing. Use the tools to take away clay to get to the general shape. Once you’re close, keep carving to create the edges of the suit, pants, dress or whatever.
Since I have been saying to myself for years I need to do this myself, now is the time since it can possibly help someone else. I’d say I’m no pro at this so I have a learning curve as well. How tall are your figures so I can do what you are doing? I’ll post pics of my progress.
