Hi,

This is my first posting of my carvings. They are both a little over 3" tall. One is a pattern that I copied out of a magazine, Don Mertz's hobo. The second one is free hand using his "rule of 3". Any criticism would be appreciated.

The only thing I could find to criticize was the first one was the first one looks like he has 6 toes....but that could just be my eye sight! They look pretty good to me!

They both look great. Your facial expression on the first guy is really good.
That's a lot of carving packed into 3"!
