Over 700 photos and illustrations are used to demonstrate series of exercises for the head, torso, arms, hands, legs, feet and full figure that promote rapid progress while learning the anatomy specifically relevant to the 3D artist. The traditional clay sculptor, as well as the digital sculptor, will find information on structure, planes, balance and the subtle details that are required in order to master this art. Further features include: small to life-size sculpture studies, step-by-step demonstrations, explanations for rhythm lines and S curves, illustrations for bones and muscles, numerous examples of sculpted hands and feet along with firing and finishing techniques. Review: Educational - Philippe Faraut is a master at what he does. This books demonstrates his skills and is very educational on the human anatomy and how to sculpt it. I enjoy that this book teaches your about the entire process from the beginning right to the end. Some sculptural books show you they make a sculpture but not how they finish it. Such as getting it off the armature, and putting it back to together. The book is very well illustrated and I would recommend it to any one interested in sculpting the human figure in clay. Review: An Indispensable Guide For The Beginner - A really fine book loaded with striking, professional photos of the author's works. It is indispensable for the beginning sculptor. It is full of lessons/tips for practicing sculpting all parts of the body. It is expensive but well worth the price. I bought a used one which cut the pain a bit. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,130,100 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #83,591 in Arts & Photography (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 140 Reviews | ## Images ![Figure Sculpting Volume 1: Planes and Construction Techniques in Clay - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51fMZUV5YkL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Educational *by K***A on October 17, 2015* Philippe Faraut is a master at what he does.

I often use a model and review anatomy books. In addition, I have studied several portrait sculpting books authored by other masters. However, there is no other books that compare to this book. This book is a must have for figure sculptors at any level. It is understandable, comprehensive, masterful and sets forth exceptional detail to enable an artist to learn and see how to create beauty in sculpture. There is no other book comparable in the market. ## Frequently Bought Together - Figure Sculpting Volume 1: Planes and Construction Techniques in Clay - Figure Sculpting Volume 2: Gesture & Drapery Techniques in Clay - Mastering Sculpture: The Figure in Clay: A Guide to Capturing the Human Form for Ceramic Artists (Mastering Ceramics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/65826556-figure-sculpting-volume-1-planes-and-construction-techniques-in-clay](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/65826556-figure-sculpting-volume-1-planes-and-construction-techniques-in-clay) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
