Thanks Edgar, I had seen that one too. (Cynthia needs to teach these cast sites how to fix their images.)

It is very different from the one above as best as I could tell the first time I looked at their site.

That would make sense about the small base. The hand I have holding a sphere has a wood peg and base which causes me to hold my breath everytime I walk by.

I'm a little surprised that this URL doesn't show up on a Forum search, so I'll toss it into the mix. I saw it in a recent art mag, though I'm afraid I don't remember which one. (My memory is full, and I've forgotten as well how to close other applications to make room.)

This appears to be a bit of a knockoff of the one we've come to know and love through its near-mythic omnipresence and paradoxical retail unavailability, but in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king, and so on . . .

You might find more about the subject in Loomis' Book "Drawing the Head and Hands". I can email you the main pages too, the whole book however would be a little complex, it's a 149 paged book.

By the way, the pages are larger and easier to be read.

Claudemir those look great! If you do have them in a PDF type or jpeg format I would love a copy!

Steven I didn't click on the link but I am guessing it goes to his niece's site or email. She has his permission to reproduce them. I have yet to purchase one because they are made of a gray plastic and are priced like plaster. But I would love to hear if anyone has invested in the new one! A number of people wrote me asking how to reach her but I have not heard back if they liked it or not.

I have yet to break open that clay!
