These books were
very helpful while I was learning:
Edward Lanteri "Modelling and Sculpting the Human Figure" Great techniques
Philippe
Faraut "Portrait Sculpting" He is so amazingly talented
Maureen Carlson "How to make clay character"
very cute little all clay characters
Katherine Dewey "Creating Life-Like Figurines in Polymer Clay"
Sarah
Simblet "Anatomy for the Artist"
Gary Faigin "Facial Expressions"
Plus about 1000 tutorials
from some very talented artists all over the world who post them on their websites and youtube.
I have not been able
to actually take any classes or go to any seminars yet but I plan to in the future. The work found on this site is raw and
as with my skills still a work in progress. I hope you like what I am doing and will keep coming back to see what my next
learning adventure will do for my sculpting skills.
Many of my fairies have this face shape. It is one of my favorite pictures out of the very few pictures of
me that I ever allowed to be taken at that age(16). I use it often when sculpting.
