First Caricature

[icarve2003]

Hi,

I attended one of Pete Leclair's seminars at the Carvers Conference in Kitchener Ontario last weekend. When I got home, I couldn't wait to try some of the things I learned. I whipped this guy off and I was amazed at how much better he turned out than previous attempts.

It looks real good. Did you use a pattern or just the one in your head. Ron

Re: First Caricature

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

Ron, I didn't use a pattern on him, I just started carving and this was the result. I was really just playing around with some different techniques and he just sort of took shape.

Jim and Bob, you guys are right, I started another one last night. I've got a golfer, a Great Blue Heron and a Prairie Falcon on the go but I just had to try another head. :-)

Excellent piece, nice face expression, seminars are just fantastic, well worth the minor costs, the chips will be flying an dthe paints will be flowing, keep up the great work and show us more pics down the road.

FIRST caricature? If I could do one like that for my 75th, I'd take it up.

Re: First Caricature

Not onlya great start, but to think you just "whittled" at this till it came out! WOW, I'm impressed. Very nice work, keep it up.

Re: First Caricature

It must be nice to just fool around and produce something like that. Can't wait to see what you come up with when you get serious and really try.
Super nice!
