In this lesson you’ll learn how to build your own anatomically correct wire armatures! If you don’t know what an armature is, it acts as a skeleton that will support your figure sculpture. This prevents the sculpture from sagging and slumping over. The second benefit to a wire armature is that it serves as an internal measuring system for proportions. It’s a foundational step that you don’t want to skip!
