He already is showing a great deal of charactor. You did that with just a knife?
Wonderful. His face proportions are so good. You'll have to post more pictures as you work on him. I gather he will have eyes?
Great job Elwood...

Well done, you are on the right track! Practice, practice, practice makes perfect. Don't worry about mistakes, if one eye is crossed, turn him into a pirate and give him a patch! Mistakes is how I learn, and I make plenty.

You are coming right along, well done. Don't worry about too many pics, never too many of those. We love to watch a carving being created. It helps us when we attempt things.

It's going great. Again, your face proportions look very real. The eyes are going to bring him to life.
