340 photos and 4 videos demonstrate all the stages of sculpting. In this part I explain how to sculpt three different heads – a classical girl, an old character woman, and a sad troll – in three different ways. The heads themselves are roughly the same in terms of complexity, but the sculpting principles are different. The first head is sculptured using a classical technique, which is the most complicated. To sculpture the two other heads, I recommend techniques that will make your work much easier. All videos were shot in one take, without editing, so there are no jarring transitions from barely-sketched details to complete dolls. You will see how it’s all done in real life.

What a wonderful book!
For beginners and experienced doll makers alike.
If you are looking for a reliable but not long-winded set of rules which will most definitely improve your doll making techniques or even just simply make you look at your process again and perhaps improve it- look no further!
If you’re a beginner, this is all you need to get you started, and more!
Not just an informative book by a very experienced doll maker and academic, but also “how-to” videos showing detailed sculpting of an ear, mouth, nose etc.- everything you may need to create your own doll!
I wish I’d had this book when I first started making dolls, it would have made the learning process a lot easier!
Can’t recommend it highly enough!
Well worth the money, very informative, straight-to-the-point- a perfect compendium of knowledge and tips for every doll maker! I loved the colourful anecdotes the author included as well…
I am eagerly awaiting the next books by Elena.
