From prehistoric paintings on cave walls to the greats of
the Renaissance to the complex imagery of cubism, artists and craftsmen around
the world have been interpreting the nude female figure. In Carving Classic
Female Figures in Wood, world-renowned author and teacher Ian Norbury offers his
extensive experience as an artist and sculptor to help carvers take on the
challenge of carving a nude figure.
Inside, you'll find:
• Gallery of Completed Works: to provide background on the artist's thought
processes and inspiration for your own work
• Tips and Techniques on Pattern Making, including taking photographs and
creating useful patterns
• Anatomy Sketches, showing the underlying muscles and how they work together to
create movement
• Two Step-by-Step Projects, including a series of reference photos, bandsaw
patterns and dozens of full-color photos showing the process from start to
finish
With this book, you'll gain a greater understanding of the form of the female
torso and its underlying structures. The author's systematic method of working
from concept to the finished piece can then be applied to your own work allowing
you to create carved sculptures that reflect your own vision.
