This video is the next best thing to being able to actually take a class with Philippe Farault. He literally goes step by step so you can follow along (which I did) from the very beginning all the way through to the end. I learned so much from being able to see exactly how he forms the different features--this is the kind of thing you just can't learn from reading about it. This is a great service and I will be renting all the sculpture-related DVD's!
This DVD is beyond amazing! Anyone who wants to learn the PROPER foundation for any figurative sculpture must watch this--and take lots of notes. Invaluable.
This is, like all of Faraut's DVDs, an invaluable reference for anyone interested in figurative sculpting. In this DVD he shows a refinement of his earlier technique in establishing "planes" of the face early on, then detailing the features. I highly recommend this!

I love all of John Brown's work but this is my favorite! It's great to see him work from a live model, and incredibly helpful for beginning sculptors to see how he constantly references the model's outline to gage the size and shape of body parts more effectively than just trying to model all the details at once, a mistake beginners commonly make. Anyone who wants to learn true figurative sculpting techniques would benefit from watching this.
This is an excellent work by a master of creature creation. Essential for anyone wanting to move beyond basic work and learn different methods of applying texture to their sculptures.
I enjoyed the DVD but would recommend it for sculptors who have some experience, as opposed to complete newbies. The sculptor talks about perspective but doesn't demonstrate how to achieve this in the flattened realm of relief sculpture, just shows himself lifting the front of the subject's foot out a bit from the background. Newbies would be frustrated with so little explanation of how to achieve depth. I did enjoy the mold-making demo and found that very helpful.
