Creating Life-Like Figures in Polymer Clay,
By A Customer
This review is from: Creating Life-Like Figures in Polymer Clay: A Step-By-Step Guide (Paperback)
Creating Life-Like Figures in Polymer Clay is the most comprehensive book I have come across for the Polymer Clay artist.Katherine Dewey is inspiring and makes it possible to achieve wonderful results by following her techniques. The book is a joy to read to look at, as the entire book is in colour. An invaluable book to have as part of any clay artist reference library.

Valuable resource for beginner or professional,
By Sunnie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Creating Life-Like Figures in Polymer Clay: A Step-By-Step Guide (Paperback)
Begining and professional doll and figure makers will find this book an excellent resource. The entire process used by this artist is diagramed and photographed in detail. The beginner will find everything from buying, finding, and making the most useful tools, through how much clay will be used in a sculpt. Instructions are laid out in clear, clean, methodical steps that can be used as a lesson plan for learning ever more complex techniques. The experienced artist will be grateful to have so many techniques outlined in one book. No matter how long you have been making figures, you will find something in this book that will make your work easier, more fun, or help you produce a more professional figure. An excellent book; it belongs in every dimensional artists' library. 25 of 25 people found the following review helpful:

The definitive book for modeling polymer figures.,
By Mr Sir - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Creating Life-Like Figures in Polymer Clay: A Step-By-Step Guide (Paperback)
Based on her years of experience and her artistic know-how, Katherine Dewey has created an invaluable resource for beginners as well as the more experienced polymer artist, for creating realistic human figures. Artists are generally visual learners; we need visual aids rather than drab encyclopaedic instructions, and Katherine Dewey gives us the perfect balance of informative text with, most importantly, informative photos and illustrations, breaking down the human figure into individual, manageable parts. Also, she shares her methods for creating practical tools, sturdy armatures, eyeballs, hair, teeth, clothes, wrinkles, facial expressions, ethnic differences, and more. I have not seen a more useful guide.
