This is the most informative book I found about making single ball jointed dolls from air dry clay but not only! I am using the book, the English translation and a 3d sculpting program to create a digital doll then I use a 3d printer to print it out. Then I spray it with primer and the shortcut is over: I finish everything else manually. Working digitally does shorten the process a bit, but the manual part of the work is the most important: makeup, body blushing, wig, clothes and shoes, everything is well illustrated and explained in the book.
