Sculpting is a significant form of artistic expression that has evolved with time while retaining its creative and cultural value. Traditional sculpting, which involves working with physical materials such as clay, stone, wood, and metal, has been practiced for centuries and is deeply rooted in art history. With the advancement of technology, digital sculpting has emerged as a modern artistic practice that uses computer software to create three-dimensional forms in a virtual environment. This research paper discusses the traditional sculpting and digital sculpting for independent artistic practices. The purpose of the study is to describe their historical development, tools, materials, working processes, educational importance, and role in contemporary creative industries. The research is based on research using secondary sources such as books, academic articles, and industry publications. My findings indicate that both forms of sculpting continue to play an important role in artistic learning and professional practice. Traditional sculpting strengthens material understanding and craftsmanship, while digital sculpting supports innovation and industry-oriented workflows. This study aims to provide a clear academic understanding of sculpting practices for students of art and design.
