[Woodcarver] Woodspirit Likeness (chat)

Looks good Mike!  He sure does look like a wood spirit!  But then again, I thought most spirits were grouchy and he is just to smiley!

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'
