Here’s a pick of phenomenal Korean/Asian sculptors. These people have mind blowing talent, obviously stylistically very different to American artists but achieve a finish on their pieces like none else I’ve seen. It’s interesting to note the heavy western influence in the works.
If you prefer online resources to books then give the following websites a try. You will see sites that offer a lot of useful information with my favourite being the progress of other artists, taking you step by step through their process.
These books represent the finest in body shape and construction learning. Ranging from anatomical sketching books to working with clay materials specifically, these books and lots of practice should be all you need to turn you into a master of the craft. Beautifully illustrated and very practical with some of the best books available online for free.
Here is a selection of my favourite American toy prototype sculptors. I use the term American loosely here because most of these sculptors work for US comic companies but themselves may be foreign. These artists probably sculpted some of the figures/toys you may own or include their work in your movie collection. Amazing talent and inspirational viewing.
