I think I have a book in college, not a trade book. I said, totally positive experience! I mean, if this is some college education, this book is $ 75.00, I think I finally have a book, I want to continue. Handmade pottery

I can not even describe how much detail in this book. I feel I can do that thing number. That is, each link has developed for you. Each step. Is there anything you can imagine, no doubt Wufahuida. I mean, there is a change in the statement that ... as a way for different races, male characters, the female body, muscles, hands - how to make your own eye, for God's sake! that allows all the tools you use, I still have not finished, but need to do, because I think its more hand tools than I can buy. Handmade pottery

I do not think I really can fully express emotion with this book. I've been so good for so long to be able to create characters, beautiful and moving and believable, I think I can finally do this!

Handmade pottery clay to create realistic digital method of operation is one of the best books to sculpture, I read.

Chapter 1 covers a variety of polymer clay Handmade pottery available, how to use clay, security considerations, including the formula for mixing colors, different races.

Chapter 2 describes the basic form and modeling, Ms. Dewey is the platform technology, which is a form of registration of clay showed a certain thickness, and cut the units of equal length. A good technique for beginners, to ensure that the same amount of clay is used. Who wants a disproportionate arm or two legs, just because you eyeballed on the use of clay?

The third chapter describes the tools and make your own soil. If you are a beginner who had never used polymer clay, this chapter to become familiar with the sensation of texture, and cooking methods, you need to shape your character.

Chapters 4-7 cover the shape of the figure of the face, trunk, arms and legs. Chapter on her face, Mrs. Dewey told him how to confront a basic model, but not enough to spend there, and she described. She tells him how the sex differences in sculpture. She shows how to shape the nation faces. She tells you how to transfer your digital expression of clay here and there. She tells you how to add the age of your character.

The same chapter, with the trunk, she describes how men and women change their body shape. It also provides technical assistance to the recorded her "hero" or muscular male torso and increase the reality of the "fat" pictures of overweight pad.

His arms and legs are very detailed chapter, you begin the development of the "heroes" of the arms and legs, if you want to exercise that kind of person.

Chapter 8 details how to make a smaller scale. More concerned with his book before the 1 / 6 scale. In Chapter 8, she gave the formula of "base unit" that allows you to scale sculpture at 1 / 8.1 / 10.1 / 12. It also demonstrates the techniques of small-scale sculpture.

Chapter 9 describes how to make clothes in the mud, this is really amazing, almost worth the price of books. Her figure looks like a dress fabric instead of clay. So if you can not or do not want you sew a digital form, you can use them in the "rag", texture and trim folds so real and true.

Chapter 10 shows "paid off", which is painting and wigging in your body.

These instructions are very detailed, very good photographs. These photos and explain why this book has 5 stars. Like I really care about you and your style well, I give you enough to take the pictures and descriptions.

The only "negative" I'll go this book is that it needs to be spiral. I have the original self-published book, yes, this is a reproduction of the original, Ms. Dewey has a different cover - but I bought it apart and put it in the folder so I can be a reference flat, and my Handmade pottery style.

Generally excellent Handmade pottery , highly recommended!
