Discover her main influences, which range from classical art, film, and literature to genres as varied as fantasy, cyberpunk, horror, and even nature and biology.

Get to work by creating a pencil sketch of your sculpture with Francesca’s guidance and discover the difference between the preliminary sketch and the technical drawing. Build your character’s foundational structure using wire, aluminum foil, and pliers.
Continue by adding volume, first molding the basic body shapes and later creating the final textures. Then, focus on modeling the human face and adding the finishing touches to ensure your piece is stable and polished to perfection.
