FGA3...


Received the brief and headed to both libraries to check out as much info as I could on the human head. There seems to be quite a lot of anatomical reference books showing and describing the musculature and skull but actual modelling, particularly 3D are proving elusive.

Grabbed as many books as I could...

Making Faces – Keith Roberts – A great book detailing the many ways art has depicted the human face, from traditional aboriginal sculptures to digital and 3D constructions

Facial Expressions – Mark Simon – Mainly a reference book visually depicting the myriad of human facial expressions such as anger, fear, etc.

Sculpture: Principles and Practice -- Louis Slobodkin – Not a bad book, introducing the basics of sculpture but not much detailed information on defining features and characteristics.

Modelling the head in clay – Bruno Lucchesi – Much better book focussing on the finer points and techniques for head modelling.

Couple more books reserved for me like Stop Staring by Jason Osipia and Modelling the human figure by Edouard Lanteri.
