## Description

desertcart.com: Fantasy Creatures in Clay: Techniques for Sculpting Dragons, Griffins and More eBook : Deschain, Neal: Kindle Store

Review: Useful for any sculpture (not just fantasy creatures) - I used this book to guide me in making a lot of different kinds of sculptures, including three chimeras (one about 6" and the others 2 or 3"), lots of mini figures (werewolf, humans, humanoids, etc), a dragon (Sunny from Wings of Fire), and a wolf pup. The book gives a lot of detailed instructions, including pictures and helpful tips, as well as a list of all materials that might be needed. Despite the title, the methods she uses are applicable to all kinds of sculptures, not just fantasy creatures. You can see that the author has a lot of experience and her instructions are clear and easy to follow even if you're a beginner (like I am). When I had questions about sculpting (and later about casting with Monster Clay), I was able to contact her via email and received prompt and thorough answers. My one and only complaint would be there might be, like, one typo that I noticed that made something a little confusing, but it can be figured out easily enough with common sense. The book itself was in very good condition; it has fairly thick, plastic-ish pages like you would expect from an art book, so you don't have to worry about getting clay or anything on it. It's pretty large, but I think that's to be expected. It's lasted about three years very well, the spine has broken a little so it stays open on pages I look at a lot (which is actually nice because it can be hard to keep open while you're using your hands to sculpt) and I expect it'll continue to last for as long as I need it. This book is definitely worth the price if you are looking to start sculpting and feel intimidated by other, bigger, more expert-looking books.
Review: Excellent Reference Guide For All Levels - As other reviews have stated, this guide is for both beginning and experienced sculptors, but not beginning artists. You will need to know some anatomy, color theory, and a have little bit of drawing ability to be able to fully appreciate the information contained within. However, the book does contain convenient references to other websites and books that will help you somewhat. Some tutorials are step-by-step and teach you how to create something very specific, which is helpful but doesn't always give you a deeper understanding of how to do the process once on your own. Fantasy Creatures in Clay instead teaches skills and techniques and shows you how to go about using them. It encourages you to practice them on your own until they become instinctive instead of promising some quick way to learn how to sculpt. In that respect it may prove daunting to new sculptors, but rest assured it does give you the information you need to get started and build your abilities. The guide is beautiful to behold with large and detailed illustrations as well as clear instructions to help you follow along. It is also set up in such a way that referencing it at any stage of your sculpture for help is very and easy allows you to troubleshoot your creation without wasting time. The "field guide" theme and little visual touches such as the field notes make it entertaining and a little more engaging while you are reading. The size and quality of this guide make it quite a bargain at the current price and it would still be worth it near list price. If you or someone you know is getting into sculpting or have been sculpting for a while and just need some techniques to up your game, this guide will prove invaluable to you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must Have
*by E***N on September 5, 2014*

Wow, I have to say I am THOROUGHLY impressed! I've looked through many art books for various techniques and how-to. Some feel lacking as if they skipped steps or are too wordy. This is NOT the case with Fantasy Creatures in Clay at all! I'm happy to say a look through this book shows complete understanding of the materials, as expected, but the artist has taken care to walk us through not only the basic processes, but many fine points which seem to never be discussed in other sculpt books! Detailed and lots of process photos with a clear and to the point explanation. No space or words were wasted with this, and any artist seeking to improve their sculpt work, or even get into the medium will surely appreciate this book in their resources. Seriously, she's covered things I hadn't even thought of sculpting, such as semi-transparent wings! This is literally years of skill and practice of an artist begging to be at your fingertips, you should take full advantage of. If your also wondering the materials talked about in this book would cost to start making the beautiful sculpts, they are all easily obtainable here on Amazon, craft stores or even some supermarkets. Really, this book covers everything sculpt related, and is a must have.
