[Woodcarver] Woodspirit Likeness

[Mike Bloomquist]

OK, anybody remember the picture of the live woodspirit that was at my NEWR
class?  The one I "threatened" to do a likeness of?  Well, here's my first
whack at it.

I'm happy enough with it, but sure am glad it wasn't a commission <G>.  I
need to try it a time or two more to get the expression nailed down better.
In a nutshell it was a fun exercise and I found out a "likeness" is a lot
about ratios, angles, eye shape and a small dash of caricature
(exaggeration).  If it were a commission, a clay model would have been
mandatory, and probably would have made the nose and eye shapes 95% right on
the first attempt.

Keep on Carvin'
