I dont know how much the information provided will transfer to other projects. Unless you love Lucchesis work or something I would find a different resource. still OK for the price I got it used.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Was this book even written by an artist?By J. SeethalerI read this book incredibly fast because it is just pictures and descriptions of what a sculptor is doing. It doesnt explain why things are done. it just says what was done; very frustrating. I am a little familiar with sculpting and this book doesnt address much. if any. about the benefit of skeletal and muscle structure. which I think would be misleading for very many newer sculptors looking for direction. Likewise. the artist does several steps that I dont think worked out and were fixed with later steps. I really dont think the person writing the book really understood what the sculptor was doing.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Im very pleasedBy SuperSquishI really enjoyed this book. The book itself is sturdy with a glossy cover and back. If I had wanted a "how to" about sculpture. Id probably feel differently. I was just curious and wanted to learn more about the steps and how some things are done. It goes through 216 steps. a smaller black and white photo for each. There are six larger photos of the completed bust at the end of the book. and various pictures of other sculptures in the beginning. Though its only telling you what he is doing. not telling you what to do and how to do it.As long as youre purchasing this book to see how this particular artist. Bruno Lucchesi. sculpts a face. then Im sure youll be pleased. However. if you want a step by step guide teaching you how to sculpt a face this is probably not the book for you. I would still recommend it for any adult simply curious about sculpture in general.
