Victoria Stautzenberger- bas-relief portrait sculptor
In just under two hundred pages this book has replaced a small library on portrait sculpture instruction. It is so well written and easy to follow. Covering the full spectrum of instructions for realizing your own creations, not a single step has been left out. The author's own joy and enthusiasm for the beautiful work she does just pours from these pages. Even if you've never sculpted before, her spirit is contagious. I only wish I'd known about this long ago. I could have skipped untold hours of torturous "trial and error" learning.

This e-book is so thorough that it is just like being at a portrait-sculpture workshop without the price tag of $500 to $1,000 or more! It contains everything you ever wanted to know and if you still have a question, you can access the Heidi Maiers web page and ask! The chapter on proportions of every head would be useful to painters as well as sculptors.

This is among the very best instructional texts I've read, in ANY medium. Heidi's writing is articulate, easily understood, and is lushly illustrated in every detail. It is truly a landmark reference book.

I have a background in portait painting, and I am enthused and encouraged to work in 3D by Heidi's patient and enthusiastic teaching style. Buy this book.

Well written and very helpful. It wasn't too long and was easy to follow with great images. You can even ask questions on her website and she actually answers!
