With over 400 colour photographs, this book discusses the equipment and materials required; it explains the fundamental facial and body proportions for both adult and child figures and shows how to achieve the basic shapes required. Also included is information on obtaining realistic skin tones and step-by-step photographs demonstrate how to create sitting, standing and reclining figures. This new book demonstrates how to create figures for wedding cakes and how to use internal armatures for support.
