Noted sculptor Ian Norbury gives woodcarvers a thorough, how-to
guide to bringing out the beauty of a female face from a block of
wood. Using hundreds of photographs and drawings, the author
provides in-depth instruction on carving two different adult faces
- one European and one Afro-Caribbean - and one child's face. Both
beginning and advanced woodcarvers and sculptors will find expert
guidance on tackling the unique challenges of carving a female
face. Included are sections on the anatomy of the female face,
taking photographs and producing patterns, step-by-step
instructions, and a photographic gallery of finished carvings to
provide inspiration.
The female face and the female figure have been drawn, sculpted,
carved and painted by artists and craftsmen from around the world
for centuries. In this book and DVD, author and teacher Ian Norbury
offers his expertise and experience to help carvers take on the
challenge of presenting the female face and figure in wood. Inside,
readers will find tips for creating patterns, in depth anatomical
drawings for better understanding of the body's muscles,
step-by-step projects with detailed photos and instructions and a
photo gallery of finished projects to illuminate and inspire.
This study of carving the human figure in wood concentrates on the
anatomical structure of the body and details specific areas of
common difficulty to woodcarvers such as eyes, ears, hands, feet
and hair. The book includes step-by-step sequences outlining the
techniques involved, as well as providing a range of work that
should both stimulate and improve the understanding of the human
form.
