Rating:  Summary: Great lessons on faces! Review: This book is excellent.I have fought for months to make a realistic looking face/head on a figurine. The lessons in this book made it easy and I was able to complete a sculpted face for the first time. There's a lot of information packed into this book on making clothing, faces of all ages, hands, and realistic looking and cartoonish looking figurines. I highly recommend the book if you're having trouble creating good faces. It's not as hard as it looks, just go step by step like the book shows.

Rating:  Summary: Very Good! Review: This book is very descriptive. However, it does sometimes get a little comfusing or frustrating, but if you keep at it, you will find yourself surrounded by lots of little people! A very acknowledgable book!
Rating:  Summary: Excellent book!! Review: This is a fantastic book easy enough for anyone. I had never touched a piece of clay before buying this book and now I am making dolls that people are offering to buy from me. It is easy step by step instructions and information on anything you need to complete. A+++
Rating:  Summary: A Must Have For Your Library Review: This is a fantastic book with easy step-by-step instructions which cover: Choosing clay, tools needed, basic techniques, making body parts, creating lifelike faces and expressive figures. All illustrations are colorful and the figures are delightful. You won't be sorry for purchasing this book--one to be shared by beginners and the experienced, by children and adults.
Rating:  Summary: A great book with great photograghs to illustrate techniques Review: This is the best book that I have read on the subject. As a self taught artist I'm excited to learn from the author's experience. The photos are very helpful. I expect to advance my skills and the quailty of my work greatly. I look forward to other works by the author. This book is a "must buy". The author has encountered many of the problems that the clay sculpturist will encounter and has paid the the dues of trial and error. This was my first Amazon purchase and has solidified in my mind the value of this on line service as well. I had not seen this book at book stores or craft and hobby shops . A big thumbs up to this book and to the speed in which I recieved my book.
Rating:  Summary: Fantastic Review: Unfortunately I couldn't get MY little clay face to be so expressive, but the book is a delight to read and look at. In addition to the figures, a good number of basic techniques are presented. I found the instructions and photographs quite clear.
