Describe a sculptable subject
Simple silhouettes and a few rounded parts read more clearly than intricate thin details. Start with one character or object and a limited set of props.
Make the material visible
Mention matte clay, gentle surface irregularities and shallow fingerprints. Soft directional light helps reveal the surface without making it look glossy or metallic.
Choose an appropriate setting
Use a plain studio backdrop for a character concept or a small handmade set for a scene. Keep surrounding objects consistent with the same material style.
