In week three, Judy Fox emphasizes working with planes to simplify and clarify your sculpture’s forms. You will define major anatomical features, such as the face and upper body, while maintaining the gesture’s integrity. This stage refines the block-in’s broad forms and prepares for detailed refinement in the coming weeks.
