Step by Step Books ??

[Chizeler]

What are some good books to help me learn, I am self teaching. I have '25 Gunfighters' by Streetman and just ordered 'Creating Caricature Heads' by Kaisersatt but I still want more good step by step books.

Thanks in advance.

Anything by Harold Enlow
Carving Caricature Figures from Scratch by LeClair

I think you'll find the Kaisersatt book to be the best though.

Great step by step books if you want to do native or mountain men are by Jeff Phares. Every step is detailed in picture and explanation I just worry that these books are maybe a little advanced for the novice carver. Having said that if you are carving realistic human face Jeff is one of the best.

As a newbie myself learing from books and forums, I like Pete's book 'Carving Caricature Figures from Scratch'. I also like Jack Price's 'Carving Small Characters'.

Jack's book is nice since the guy created in it can be done by a novice in just a few hours. I find it nice to carve something recognizeable.

I haven't seen Kaisersatt's book but I may have to take a look at it.

btw, the little guy in my profile is a poor example of what you can do with Jack's book.
