"Covering both composition and technique, this skill-building guide unlocks the secrets to capturing humor and expression in caricature carving. Included is an in-depth study of composition and making clay models, enabling carvers to design their own patterns and projects. A special section on facial expressions includes photographs of human faces along with illustrations and useful reference information. A step-by-step project, Old Man with Walking Stick, is included, along with patterns for three alternate facial expressions: happy, grumpy, and surprised."
