3D sculpting or digital sculpting is much like sculpting with real clay. Just like sculptors, 3D artists use brushes and tools to turn an unformed piece into an artwork. The process usually includes a few stages, starting from basic shapes, like head, body, and limbs, and moving to details — facial features or clothes.^[1]

3D sculpting is better suited for creating organic shapes. For angled objects, such as buildings, modeling is a faster and more efficient tool.
