DVD Description:
SCULPTING THE FEMME FATALETHE TECHNIQUES OF JOHN BROWN, VOLUME 6Inside SCULPTING THE FEMME FATALE, Brown demonstrates how to sculpt the fantasy oriented, sexy, dangerous female character. Beginning with a concept sketch and an understanding of gesture and balance, students will quickly learn the essentials of female anatomy through a comparative study using a live female model. Students will also learn the seven major differences between the female and male figures. He also meticulously covers sculpting form fitting clothing and accessories such as boots and helmets. What makes this sculpture training DVD unique is its results-oriented theories and techniques that teach students how to analyze the body's forms properly, and to see and correct their own mistakes. By gaining a sharper eye, students will become equipped to extrapolate the figure's forms with respect to the rudiments and fundamentals of anatomy, enhancing their ability to design and develop their own sense of style.
