Fundamentals of Figure Carving
Author: Ian Norbury 1993
If you want to carve naked ladies in wood nowhere else in print is there such a fine account of carving the human form in such minute detail.
It concentrates on the anatomical structure of the body with skeleton and musculature drawings, easy-to-visualise cross-sections, close-up details and specific coverage of the areas which commonly cause difficulty to all craftsmen, such as eyes, ears, hands, feet, hair, etc.
Step-by-step instruction clearly explains a range of studies and poses which provides a foolproof method of teaching for both the beginner and the experienced carver.
This book is a highly visual study, illustrated with over 350 superb drawings and photographs of this complex art form - the definitive book on the subject.
