Guy looking down.

I've been trying to practice different stances and head tilts. Besides wanting the head turned and tilted down, and having the toes pointed inward I didn't really know what else I wanted to do with this piece when I drew out the pattern. I like how it turned out. I think it has quite a bit of movement. Thanks for looking.

It has a LOT of movement, and that is good! He's slouching, toes in, one hand in pocket and one not, head tilted, eyes down... His mother would be all over him about his posture!

Well done!

Great carving, Anders, and it does show a lot of "movement." You are getting good at postures, and wish I could do as well. Fine work.

Hey guys, I think Anders is trying to form a good carver into an excellent carver, and he is doing it

Another carving done well. The marker painting is working for you.

Nice job, enjoyed your carving very much. I see a story in the carving.
To me the story shows a guy not very happy, leaving for work Monday morning, hand in pocket looking for his keys after a big weekend.

Thanks everyone!
Joe, thanks for the compliment....that's the goal, haha.
Ed, thanks. I did the coat and belt with the felt tip markers this time. I should have done the hair like that too, but forgot.
Tioga, thanks. That's a fitting story.
