You need to find a textbook. And get a sculpture and a flashlight, and just experiment in a dark room.
I do know that underlighting is supposed to make things spooky and mysterious. Light from the side makes a dramatic profile (think movie stars from the 30s and 40s), and light from the top can be sunshine-y and goodness, or rather harsh.
The quality of light also makes a difference -- full spectrum vs. cold light.
Good luck.

Inside or outside,is the work intended to be seen in the round or frontal view only,is it on a pedestal or plinth,is it supported by wires or free standing, without this info you are asking for the near impossible, texture of the medium,colour, height, width. breadth all play an important part in its display,notice how sculpture is displayed in high art galleries, museums tend to be a standard format borne out of budgetary controls, there are a few exceptions ,Tate modern being one of them, outside work is dependent upon climate and also landscape,terrain, and how the sculpture is set against the backdrop on 360 degrees. think about the points raised ,showing your work to the best advantage is not outside of your capabilities it needs thought.LF
