Wildlife Carving in Relief, Second Edition Revised and Expanded by Lora S Irish
An in-depth introduction teaches novice carvers basic techniques, such as choosing wood and transferring a pattern while intermediate and experienced carvers will appreciate a section devoted to advanced techniques, such as undercutting for depth and creating free-floating areas within a carving. Step-by-step line drawings are included for each project, with shaded patterns illustrating depth and shadow. Genre-specific techniques for wildlife creatures are given exclusive study and include difficult detailing elements such as creating facial features and texturing fur, hair and feathers.
