All the pertanant information on sculpting a simple human form in glass are covered in this thread. Though nobody talks about drawing. Human anatomy books are fine yet how well do you see whats in them? If you can not draw the human form you will certainly be at quite the disadvantage when sculpting one in glass. If you can draw not only will proportions and details be revealed but gesture and personality as well. Think its easy put away the torch and pick up a scetch pad. Copy the anatomy books, doodle, most importantly draw people secretly. Typically You won't have much time to capture the ashcan morphology of these folks. Gesture drawing can be a challenge... time it, give yourself no more than a minute per figure. What about clothing? When your scetchpad is full see what happens when you sit down behind your torch.
