Our Review
This comprehensive guide offers aspiring paleoartists a complete toolkit for bringing prehistoric creatures to life through sculpture. The book provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for sculpting, molding, and painting original dinosaurs using accessible materials like oven-hardening polymer clay and wire. Unlike many art manuals that assume professional equipment, this approach emphasizes budget-friendly techniques that make dinosaur creation accessible to beginners and hobbyists. The expanded second edition builds significantly on the original 1995 version with enhanced tutorials and updated methods.
What truly distinguishes this sculpture guide is its holistic approach to paleoartistry, extending beyond individual creatures to include diorama construction and scene composition. The author provides valuable insights on conceptualizing complete prehistoric environments that showcase your original dinosaur sculptures. This makes the book particularly valuable for model makers, dinosaur enthusiasts, and artists seeking to create museum-quality displays rather than isolated figures. For anyone passionate about merging scientific curiosity with hands-on artistry, this manual delivers both technical mastery and creative inspiration for building entire prehistoric worlds.
