5.0 out of 5 stars
Invaluable,
By "adriela" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dollmaking: One Artist's Approach (Paperback)
I bought this book many years ago, while Bob was still with us. It has come apart at the binding, bears coffee cup stains, finger prints and all the other badges that come from a book that is used, referenced and become indispensible. Bob's voice is intimate and joyful, as he instructs and suggests, and even it were not an invaluable addition to any dollmaker's or sculptor's library, it remains as a record of creation from one of the finest dollmakers we've had. If you cannot create your own artist doll after buying this book, give up doll making.

A Must Have for Aspiring Doll Artists,
By "pv-laughingmoon" (Adrian, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dollmaking: One Artist's Approach (Paperback)
If you want to learn to sculpt the human figure -- buy this book! I had struggled for a very long time to learn to sculpt, then I found this book. The very next figure I did was radically better. While I have evolved my own "hand", my basic technique is based on the fundamentals I learned in this book. This book covers every aspect of the dollmaking process. From sculpting the head and hands, drafting a body pattern, constructing the body and armature, to drafting and constructing the costume and finishing the base. Every stage of creation is documented in step by step photos of a single doll, which is an especially invaluable feature unique to this title. I was fortunate enough to have met Bob briefly and this book captures not only his working methods but also the giving nature of his personality. We are all of us fortunate indeed that this book was written, and that this information is still available to anyone willing to learn and grow as an artist.

Dollmaking: the best approach,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dollmaking: One Artist's Approach (Paperback)
The late Robert McKinley touted by his peers as the very best in his field, believed that the art of one-of-a-kind dollmaking should be shared with any and all who wished to know. In this his first of two books, Bob takes you step by step through his process of creating just that; a work of art; whether you are novice, intermediate, or master. He encourages you through each step, telling you that happy accidents DO occur and where to go from there. Bob also encourages one to take what he has set down in this book as building blocks to create your own techniques and style. A must have for anyone wishing to know sound basics for creating a one-of-a-kind doll.
