Knowing the difficulty of the task before him in preparing this book on one of the most daunting challenges of the woodcarver--carving the expressions of the human face--Master woodcarver Ian Norbury begins with a detailed analysis of the skeletal and muscular structure of the face and then proceeds, step-by-step through the process of translating human expression into a wooden likeness. Illustrated with highly detailed photographs of human faces, carvings completed and carvings in progress, each photo is accompanied by numerous real world tips on how to render a specific expression in the work. If you are a carver, an artist or a student of art, this new book will prove very valuable indeed.
