Figure Sculpture in Wax and Plaster by Richard McDermott Miller,Gloria Bley Miller Pdf

In this splendidly detailed, generously illustrated text, the well-known American sculptor Richard McDermott Miller introduces the art of modeling the human figure in two media known for their liveliness and spontaneity. Recognizing the needs of the beginner as well as the interests of the professional artist, the book masterfully puts you quickly in possession of the basic procedures you'll need to get started, provides specific details on materials and tools, and launches you into actual projects specifically designed to teach you sculptural skills. The book first analyzes the human figure and describes the way the sculptor translates the figure into the modeled form: finding a personal style; working from photographs or memory; working from life; and capturing gesture, proportion and anatomy. Mr. Miller then describes, step by step, how to work with wax, how to sketch a small figure in wax, how to model the figure on a wax armature, and the process of hollow wax modeling. He follows the same procedure as he introduces working with plaster, from mixing it to modeling a hollow torso. Many other important topics, from mold-making techniques to working with models to finding out where and how to buy materials and tools, are presented. Throughout, Mr. Miller emphasizes the practice, rather than the theory of sculpture, emphasizing that, apart from the artist's need for personal expression, sculpture is a physical task involving the manipulation of materials. His concentration on the sculptor's working problems makes this an unusually useful and valuable guide to sculpting the human figure. Dover (1987) unabridged, slightly updated republication of the edition originally published by Watson-Guptill Publications, New York, 1971.

An Artist's Guide to Proportions & Measurements of the Skeletal System by Marilyn Ines Rodriguez Pdf

Teaching classical figure sculpture since 1996 has given me insight into student's common mistakes and questions. I have heard over and over: "Are my proportions correct?" "Is the head too big?" "Do the hands look all right?" "Are the legs too short?" These are the questions that compelled me to write this book. I didn't embark to write another typical anatomy book, there are plenty good ones already. This is a GUIDE, a WORKBOOK full of useful information about the human figure, its relative proportions, measurements and many more surprises. The best use for the book is to have it opened next to you as you work on your piece, using it as a quick guide. My main goal was to teach artists in a very clear, easy to understand and concise way the most important "Human Relative Proportions" and "Prominent Bone Landmarks" of the human figure This book contains 234 pages and over 200 original illustrations. In order to make the book as condensed and visually friendly as possible, I have limited the technical terms to those which I consider essential to an art student. Instructional illustrations appear on the right hand page and corresponding explanations on the left. I tried not to crowd the illustration with too much information so that students can find answers at a glance, and eventually overcome the need to read the explanation. I did not embark to re-invent the wheel with this book, but I wanted to include what I consider essential and basic knowledge to any art student in a SIMPLIFIED AND EASY WAY to follow. I have carefully selected the "Relative Proportions" in this book according to their level of usefulness to the artist and the ease of measurement with a respectable degree of accuracy. YOU CAN GO TO VARIOUS SOURCES FOR YOUR INFORMATION, BUT THIS BOOK WILL PULL THEM TOGETHER IN A WAY I HAVE TO FIND IN ANY OTHER BOOK. Also included in this chapter are facts and observations that I believe to be of interest to an artist. This book is mainly dedicated to the human skeletal system, as bones are the basic structure, and primary point of departure of relative proportions. I begin with an introduction of the skeletal system, with basically accurate and clear bone illustrations without the distraction of any other anatomical parts. In subsequent chapters my main objective is to provide the artist with useful and practical information over anatomical clarity. Learning the human skeletal system is the foundation but it is not nearly enough for the artist without knowing the subcutaneous bone landmarks. Bone landmarks are so fundamental to the artist that I have dedicated a whole chapter to their study. Without accurate representation the most perfectly proportioned figure will lack structure and realism. A comprehensive step-by-step guide as to how best to represent hands, feet and ears is included. All are body parts that are a main source of intimidation for most students, and are cartilaginous in nature such as the ears, or exhibit a great number of subcutaneous bone landmarks such as in the hands and feet. This book ends with a compilation of exchanges I have had with my students in which I share my experience and observations on diverse subject matters, hoping to enhance your work. Ultimately there are no shortcuts in becoming a fully skilled artist. It requires a huge commitment, discipline and practice. In the end we usually see what we expect to see, and we expect to see what we know; therefore a large portion of the quality of your work has a direct correlation to what you have learned.

Modelling and Sculpting Animals by Edouard Lanteri Pdf

"A joy to read, as well as a constant reference library. Thoroughly inspiring." — Workbench The republication of this highly valuable text by Edouard Lanteri, a renowned teacher, sculptor, and intimate friend of Rodin (Rodin called him "my dear master, my dear friend"), makes it possible for serious students to gain the requisite skills needed for figurative sculpture and to bridge the gap between artistic concept and figurative realization. Modelling and Sculpting Animals, together with its companion piece Modelling and Sculpting the Human Figure, is the classic treatise on the techniques of figurative sculpture. Representing at least three thousand years of studio lore, this readily understandable, authoritative guide is a goldmine of technical information, easily comprising a four-year sculpture curriculum unavailable elsewhere. In this reasonably priced volume, devoted almost entirely to the modelling of animals, Lanteri offers thorough step-by-step instruction for the figurative sculptor. Beginning with a description of the historical symbolism of animals in different cultures, the author then proceeds to give meticulous anatomy for the horse, lion, and bull. Rules of motion, measurements of construction, erecting the framework, tools, materials, and other pertinent aspects of animal sculpture are covered in detail. The final section presents a comprehensive exposition of the methods of casting in plaster, including how to mix the plaster, applying successive layers and irons, opening the mold, soaping and oiling, chipping off the mold, and special precautions. A profusion of illustrations — over 200 photographs, drawings, and diagrams — clearly demonstrate every principle and method the author describes. 64 full-page photographic plates, 139 drawings and diagrams.
