Book Reviews of Carving Caricature Head & Faces: 33 Caricatures With Step-By-Step Carving Instructions (A Schiffer Book for Wood Carvers)
Book Review: It has its moments
Summary: 3 Stars
An interesting book with some informative aspects BUT it relies heavily on photographs of the various steps and not all of the photographs are that clear, particularly in terms of proportions and relationships. The model is also different in some photos so some changes are not explained while there is no discussion on the development of caricature designs or types of timber to use and the book assumes some prior knowledge and access to an advanced set of tools. Not one for the beginner and probable fairly basic for the advanced so would suit someone with some experience looking to explore........

Summary of Carving Caricature Head & Faces: 33 Caricatures With Step-By-Step Carving Instructions (A Schiffer Book for Wood Carvers)
Caricatures demand the same skill and sense of proportion that realistic figures do. This is particularly true of carving heads, which can easily become grotesque looking if certain rules are not followed. With his years of carving, Pete LeClair has developed a sure-fire method for carving great caricature heads. Now he shares it with carvers around the country. He takes the reader step-by-step through the process of carving 33 projects, with each step illustrated with a color photograph and precise caption. A gallery showing the variety that can be achieved by following this method is included in the back.Sculpture Books
