Female Face from Janet Cordell Zoom class

Your ears look good and you seem to have all the details right. Sharpening your tools is the thing that helps most for me. Or a different piece of wood! But I was wondering why all the realistic details for a caricature ear? Those are the kind of ears I carve for a large realistic bust, closer to life...

Nice design!

During the class, Janet mentioned several times about how white the wood appeared (I'm attaching another photo to show what it looked like without a finish). But part of how I finish and paint some of my carvings includes spraying the entire carving to see what they will look like when I apply a finish....

Finished this from a Zoom class with Janet that I took over the last month. I think it is as finished as it's going to get. Thanks for looking!...

You really ought to try it before you buy a truck load! I bought some from a local hardwood store and it was to hard for me to carve! I still have it in the garage, so maybe I should try it again, but it was definitely harder than pine, so I am glad I only bought one chunk.
