Though each Artist's procedure varies, he/she generally begins with a photography session and sketches from life (a Sculptor may either draw or do a 3-D maquette). These are for Client review and offer the opportunity to reaffirm consensus of direction. It is possible to work from existing photography. The Artist can then create the artwork.
