Figure Sculpting Volume 1: Planes & Construction Techniques in Clay
Product ID: 208299344
In their third book on modeling techniques in clay Philippe and Charisse Faraut present a comprehensive approach to the complex subject of the human figure. Over 700 photos and illustrations are used to demonstrate series of exercises for the head, torso, arms, hands, legs, feet and full figure that promote rapid progress while learning the anatomy specifically relevant to the 3D artist. The traditional clay sculptor, as well as the digital sculptor, will find information on structure, planes, balance and the subtle details that are required in order to master this art. Further features include: small to life-size sculpture studies, step-by-step demonstrations, explanations for rhythm lines and S curves, illustrations for bones and muscles, numerous examples of sculpted hands and feet along with firing and finishing techniques. Review: Educational - Philippe Faraut is a master at what he does. This books demonstrates his skills and is very educational on the human anatomy and how to sculpt it. I enjoy that this book teaches your about the entire process from the beginning right to the end. Some sculptural books show you they make a sculpture but not how they finish it. Such as getting it off the armature, and putting it back to together. The book is very well illustrated and I would recommend it to any one interested in sculpting the human figure in clay. Review: Um classico para todos amantes da escultura - Muito recomendável para todos amantes de escultura. Eh um livro avançado, com referências e textos que demanda ja um conhecimento e experiência, contudo, mesmo para iniciantes, se torna uma leitura interessante para complementar os primeiros passos e ilustrar técnicas avançadas. A qualidade técnica das paginas e das fotos o tornam também um item de colecionadores de livros de arte

An Indispensable Guide For The Beginner
A really fine book loaded with striking, professional photos of the author's works. It is indispensable for the beginning sculptor. It is full of lessons/tips for practicing sculpting all parts of the body. It is expensive but well worth the price. I bought a used one which cut the pain a bit.

The best book available; a must have
I am a figurative and portrait sculptor. I often use a model and review anatomy books. In addition, I have studied several portrait sculpting books authored by other masters. However, there is no other books that compare to this book. This book is a must have for figure sculptors at any level. It is understandable, comprehensive, masterful and sets forth exceptional detail to enable an artist to learn and see how to create beauty in sculpture. There is no other book comparable in the market.
