with headress

[drhandrich]

I didnt think i could get a "full" headress from a 3 cornered block of wood, but i tried it and it worked out well enough.

Wow, nice carving and detail, Denny. A proud looking fellow.

It turned out great.

Better & better, might do a little more facial study for facial lines.

Very nice Denny! Nice detail on the headdress. Did you use a wood burner?

thanks all of you for the comments and encouragement.
i have started another. , a better shaped headress. i will sharpen the edge of my woodburner to get even better lines per inch.
i try and try to get a better looking face, i would love to get a real appearance, it just aint happening. dont know where to look for that.. i do realize this one had the eyes to close together and too small but i kept on anyhow. i went back and added a contour to the sides of the face... the feathers hampered that a little.

and when i did look at pictures of a much younger face , there werent much defining lines to the sides of the nose to the mouth so i omitted them acordingly
