Sooo happy with how my latest viking wood carving has turned out....improving on facial features, the eyes, nose and hair are a big improvement over previous efforts...what do you think? Marks out of 10?
A little showcase of my latest design....roosters. it's helped me learn to cut in angles and understand the necessity to think in 3D rather than 2D.
Should I paint them? What colours? Which is your favourite?
I've been going on a "beak" journey lately, learning how to carve specific angles to get a bird beak that I like, here are some of my efforts, what do y'all think?
What most people don't seem to grasp is that the singularity isn't a single point in time. We are in it right now. I've been saying this for the last year.
I just carved a cockerel and the reason I'm happy with this piece is because I designed it, calculated the angles of cutting needed, and executed. I'm finally beginning to understand how to think in 3D - so necessary when carving on a non flat surface like basswood blocks!
Feedback appreciated!
