Nice work. I like them both as well.

Very cool idea to track your change progress over time. I think they are both great, actually.

Nice work on all and it is fun to see how we change over time.

I agree with Herb. For some reason whenever I see a facet on my carving either my knife or sandpaper attack it

These little guys are great.

That's something I feel that everyone should do..... keep a sample of your work as you progress. I've been carving for 12 years now and have saved one Santa ornament each year since I began. It's interesting to see how one improves/evolves over time.

This is really a good post. Interesting to see your change in style. i like both carvings

Definitely a change over time (more definition to the face, clothing)

I recently re-carved a character I did when I first started learning how to carve. The first one is definetely more flat plane in style. The second one is my style now, which is somewhere between flat plane and caricature.
Its interesting to me to compare old work to new to see how I've changed
