Here’s the first segment on carving the woman’s body. I show you how to cut a few corners in sawing out the blank. Warning! Don’t attempt this if you’re not that confident with your band saw skills.
One thing you might be noticing with almost each video I now post…..I’m not giving you as much instruction as the earlier projects. I’m not doing this to save me time but hoping that with the carving experience from those earlier projects you are getting confident enough to know what to do. When I see areas that might need a little broader explanation I’ll go into those with more depth. Hope that’s okay. I ask for your comments with this part so I can aim the camera at those areas.
I agree with the eliminating of repetitive things when you carve a caricature but could/would you maybe give us quick scan of how for example you'll carve the body of the Indian lady wrapped in a blanket and then a more detailed video (from start to finish)on the head & face. Women are hard to carve to make them look like women!!! Thanx.
ReplyDeletebobs suggestion sounds good to me.
ReplyDeletewho made your roughout knife?
thanks for everything you do.
Agree with Bob, I'd like detail on the face for a woman. I'd also like to see detail around the neck and pants bottom.
ReplyDeleteThis project ertailnly has some signifiant dimension to it, she will be a large figure when ompleated. I would like some detail about the neck and fitting the head to the body...that is a process that is common to all your figures, so I think it would be helpful to get really good at that proess. Thanks for the videos.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see the head and upper chest area. That is the area I have a problem with. You do a great job with your videos.
ReplyDeletei like watching you carve and have learned a lot just in a month. i would like to see a video on how you carve the braided hair with the extensions on the native american woman but i appreciate anything you show. this carving with the papoose is really cool. Thanks for showing everything you do!
ReplyDeleteI would also like to see how the braids are carved and attached to the hair.
