The face is the most important feature of the doll- its a reflection of who she really is. It is also the most challenging part of a doll to create. Many people are intimidated by this craft because they perceive creating faces to be complex as doing portraiture. In this book Patti Medaris Culea takes readers step by step through various approaches to creating a face. By breaking down a face into a grid, dividing it into quadrants and seeing the features as combinations of simple shapes, the author shows how creating a beautiful face becomes possible even for beginners.
