More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Sculpting the Figure in Clay is a comprehensive instructional guide to sculpting the human figure in clay. This all-inclusive volume lays out an easy-to-follow step-by-step method of blocking out the plane structure and anatomy of the posed figure. The author's unique approach utilises a geometric system consisting of blocks, simple shapes and guidelines, which instructs students in a new and instinctive sculptural style. Lessons in the book simulate the classroom experience. Sculptural concepts are illustrated through a sequence of dramatic photographs of the model, taken from every angle of the model in a given pose and the entire sculpting process is shown from start to finish, with accompanying text.

Great book
6 Feb 2011
Format:Paperback
I originally purchased and used Peter Rubino's first book when I began to sculpt. Years later I attended a masters class taught by the author where he opined that one day he would write book on figure sculpture. Apparently he completed and published the book which is great. It clearly describes a tried and true technique for figure sculpture that is an aid to both the novice and advanced sculptor.
