In this splendidly detailed, generously illustrated text, the well-known American sculptor Richard McDermott Miller introduces the art of modeling the human figure in two media known for their liveliness and spontaneity. Recognizing the needs of the beginner as well as the interests of the professional artist, the book masterfully puts you quickly in possession of the basic procedures you'll need to get started, provides specific details on materials and tools, and launches you into actual projects specifically designed to teach you sculptural skills.The book first analyzes the human figure and describes the way the sculptor translates the figure into the modeled form: finding a personal style; working from photographs or memory; working from life; and capturing gesture, proportion and anatomy.
Mr. Miller then describes, step by step, how to work with wax, how to sketch a small figure in wax, how to model the figure on a wax armature, and the process of hollow wax modeling. He follows the same procedure as he introduces working with plaster, from mixing it to modeling a hollow torso.
Many other important topics, from mold-making techniques to working with models to finding out where and how to buy materials and tools, are presented. Throughout, Mr. Miller emphasizes the practice, rather than the theory of sculpture, emphasizing that, apart from the artist's need for personal expression, sculpture is a physical task involving the manipulation of materials. His concentration on the sculptor's working problems makes this an unusually useful and valuable guide to sculpting the human figure.

Didn't stand a chance.
Size: One Size, Color: Georgia Bulldogs
I didn't know what to expect from this dog toy. I really just wanted a football style toy that we could play with our puppy with, especially during the NFL and college season. We had the toy for one week. I don't know if the toy is poorly made or if my puppy is just a master at destroying everything he puts in his mouth. In any case the first day the rope was ripped from the ball. The next day all the stuffing was all over the living room. The third day he broke the squeaker. By the end of the week the toy was missing most of the rope and what was left was frayed and way shorter than when we first got it, the football itself was flatter than Tom Brady's from deflate gate and just looked like this sad little piece of cloth and resembled something that had been abused for years. I will say he did really enjoy playing fetch with it for the short time he had it. Don't think I'll be buying another. Can't stand to see another toy get abused like this one.

Lasted Less Than Two Days
Size: One Size, Color: Tennessee Volunteers
This is a terrible quality toy! In only two days the seams were busting open and stuffing was all over there house. This was purely a fetch and recover toy. There was not tugging, chewing, or pulling. I am so sad for my dog. He was loving this toy, but because of horrible material and quality it 48 hour tenure has landed it right in the trash. "Tough quality..." do not waste your money. I would give this zero stars if I could.
