325 reviews for Carving the Human Face, Second Edition, Revised & Expanded: Capturing Character and Expression in Wood
If you have already bought several books on carving, you will have most probably repeating information about tools and sharpening the tools. This book is different. It really concentrates on the carving itself. It contains precise patterns for the examples shown. The book has separate sections for the “Nose”, “Mouth”, “Eyes”, Headdress and Hair”, “Straf and Bolo”. Last not least it contains two sections about “Finishing”. Great book – I can recommend the book for anyone looking for help in executing projects (carving human faces).

ottimo libro spiega con moltissime foto la realizzazione del viso in copertina, passo passo, con poche divagazioni e ricchezza di dettagli tecnici, utensili usati, tecniche ecc.. Non per principianti, per apprezzarlo al meglio è necessario avere delle basi di disegno/anatomia.
