Renowned contemporary sculptor Bruno Lucchesi takes a single life-size head through all the stages of rough in, modeling, refining the surface, and finishing and texturing, enabling the reader to see exactly how he positions and models every detail. The book demonstrates not just highlights of the creative process, but every step from beginning to end.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Face 101 - 




The best book on the perspective of the human face for someone who wants to create expressive anatomically correct faces in any media. Well worth the bucks.

, simply quality bar stools
Gift for my uncle - 




I bought this as a gift for my retired uncle who has recently taken up sculpting. He loved it!
Modeling the Head in Clay - 




This is one of the best books to show others how to begin the process of sculpting heads in clay. The book is very well designed and organized. The format includes plenty of black and white, clear close up photos of the artist's clay works in stages of progression. All the pages have useful, visual details of an art lesson in modeling the head. I recommend art teachers to buy this book to help students, including beginners or advanced art students, who have never done an modeling of the human head with clay. The artist is also one of the finest clay sculptors I have seen. All the figures and heads are classical and realistic.
Good but not great - 




I have read both Peter Rubino's book and Bruno Lucchesi's book. Both are similar in nature with a large amount of spaced black and white photographs showing the sculpting process. In my opinion I think Rubino's book gives the reader more insight into how the author's mind is working when he is setting up the sculpture. Rubino divides the face into various planes and shows how he delineates them step by step while Lucchesi does not. Rubino also has a section in back of his book where he shows you how to make patinas. This section unlike the rest of his book and Lucchesi's book is in color. Probably a student of clay portraits would want to learn something from both books, but if money is the issue stick with Rubino.

Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
Excellent resource - 




An excellent learning tool for the amatuer or professional. Illustrated with many photographs of the processess, as well as finished work, this book is both instructional and motivational.
