Context is everything...

Practicing adding 'movement' to gnomebilly legs, I want to get to where it's not a struggle to wrap my head around it every time.

Anyway, I had to laugh, looked at my little hobo guy, and without his bindle he just looks like another distracted cell phone user!

Looks like you’ve made a real nice start Dave! I like the position of his legs. I hear what you’re saying about wrapping your head around adding movement to a carving…I struggle with this too. I’m guessing it will just kind of “click” someday as we become more experienced carvers.

Chuckle about cell phoning, I like the guy stepping on out.

Very good! Love the carving!

Excellent, Dave! The legs really show the motion in the carving.
