Aspects of this disclosure relate generally to relief sculptures, and more particularly to methods of creating relief sculptures, kits for creating relief sculptures, and the relief sculptures themselves. A method may include, for example, contacting a transparent plate and a first surface of a pliable sheet, the first surface of the pliable sheet comprising an image, wherein at least a portion of the image is visible through the transparent plate, applying a sculpting medium to a portion of the transparent plate that corresponds to an image feature visible through the transparent plate, and adhering a second surface of the pliable sheet to the transparent plate, the sculpting medium, or both, such that the image feature corresponds to the sculpting medium.
