Female form carving

[Nebraska]

Eyes opened. Sanded to 220. Then a quick bath.

Thanks Joe, mine too thinking I’ll miss this one.

Ed, could we have a closeup of her face?

Ed, could we have a closeup of her face?

Yes I will after I get some oil on her. Be prepared you may want to be sitting down, I’m not real happy with the face.

Here you go Arthur.

See what you mean, just lope it off and add another
just kidding, are we ever completely satisfied with out work?

Hard to tell because of the angle on the 3rd photo, but I don't see any thing wrong with the two profiles. Is there a chance you could crop the original photo to just show the face?

I don't see anything wrong with the face. Since we can't see the original photos, maybe there is something there that your carving doesn't replicate to your satisfaction?

I will say that the wood grain does marvelous things to this figure.

Hi Ed
Think I have to agree With Steven. I think you built the"WOW" factor into this piece of work. She looks beautiful.

[joepaulbutler]

If she would go with me, I would have had a prom date, with probably one of the best-looking girls there!

Steven,

That is the problem her profile is spot on but the nose isn’t right to my eye. I think I may embark on a practice series of small busts of specific people working on noses and I need to get better at lips as well.

I think the female form and all the lovely curves they provide are made to show off the grain. Certainly a symbiotic relationship.

Client is happy with the progress photos so guess I need to get over it.

Ed, the face looks fine to me. Wish I could do as well.
