Sculpting the Femme Fatale

The Techniques of John Brown, Volume 6

Introduction

Description

Inside "Sculpting the Femme Fatale", John demonstrates how to sculpt the fantasy oriented, sexy, dangerous female character. Beginning with a concept sketch and an understanding of gesture and balance, students will quickly learn the essentials of female anatomy through a comparative study using a live female model. Students will also learn the seven major differences between the female and male figures. John also meticulously covers sculpting form fitting clothing and accessories like boots and helmets. What makes this sculpture training title unique is its results-oriented theories and techniques that teach students how to analyze the body's forms properly, and to see and correct their own mistakes. By gaining a sharper eye, students will become equipped to extrapolate the figure's forms with respect to the rudiments and fundamentals of anatomy, enhancing their ability to design and develop their own sense of style.

John Brown

Character / Creature Designer Sculptor

With over forty film and television credits, John Brown’s skills as a sculptor placed him in the top live-action special make-up FX houses in Hollywood. Credits include Alien Resurrection, Species 2, George of the Jungle, Jumanji, X-Files, Mars Attacks, Bless The Child, Monkeybone, The Cell, Spy Kids, Scary Movie 2, Planet of the Apes and a host of others. John is also a bronze figurative artist whose sculptures reside in private collections throughout the United States.

  • In this new set of lessons from one of America’s leading figurative sculpting tutors – John Browns approach on how to sculpt the planes of the human male head is carefully and methodically explained. John’s teachings deliver a pragmatic set of simple to understand lessons that help ground the sculptor in the critical importance of learning the fundamentals of this art. It is these fundamentals that our creative team here at Weta Workshop value as the underpinning of our sculpting process – whether we are sculpting a hyper realistic figure or a more fantastical alien creature. Johns insistence that, all good work must be underpinned by a thorough understanding of structure and form, is also the cornerstone of our creative process .
