Default 2nd Santa
Hello again,

Just thought I would share the 2nd Santa I have completed. I sunk his eyes too deep, pretty frustrating. Maybe one day I can graduate from the Beginner's catergory. Hopefully in a few years

Thanks so much for looking!

Anthony

He looks good to me Anthony.
I can see a resemblance of a Mike Bloomquist Santa.
Nice job.

Hi Anthony, I think your eyes good. When you think they are to deep just take more off his nose and cheeks. Move the whole face back. When you do that you can expect a surprise for the better. Merle

Anthony, looks good. Take a look around at people, some have deeper set eyes than others, there is no "magic" depth.
Happy Carving!
Steve
