【Description】
This is a sequel to "Leather Carving Techniques: Figure Carving Edition," which is dedicated to explaining the techniques of figure carving, and includes "How to express exquisite fur using only a checkerboard," "How to express muscles and fur using a modeler," "How to inflate a motif and pack it with leather powder," "How to cut large and small feathers using a brush and airbrush," "How to cut textures using a special cutter," etc. The various techniques useful for creating artwork are explained, including "thoroughbreds," "cats," "toy poodles," "feathers," "bald eagles," and "owls," as well as a variety of other techniques such as "dyeing techniques using a brush and airbrush," "cutting large and small feathers using a medical scalpel," and "adding texture using a special cutter. The book explains a wide variety of animal motifs. To ensure that the reader can clearly see how the expression is similar to that of a painting, where the leather surface is replaced by a canvas and the engraving or modeler by a brush, the book uses numerous photos with contrast optimized for checking shading, as well as full-size and enlarged photos. Similarly, processes using medical scalpels and special cutters are explained so that the reader can practice becoming familiar with their handling. Even if you think figure carving is difficult or hard to understand, this book will give you a taste of the fun and depth of the art.
Contents (from "BOOK" database)
The artist creates a variety of motifs and uses engraving, modelers, and other tools to express the surface of the material, leather. Figure carving" is a technique that allows the artist to freely develop his or her work, including coloring with pigments as well as dyeing. In the United States, the home of leather carving, and in China, where the level of carving has risen dramatically in recent years, figure carving is very popular, but in Japan, the number of crafters involved is still small, perhaps because of its special characteristics. Although there are many technically difficult aspects, we hope you will take this book and experience the depth of the art.
