Default Carving instructions for female faces?
I may have asked this question earlier, so if I am repeating myself, please bear with me. I am trying to find some kind of instruction on carving a female face and head. There's a ton of material on carving caricature male heads, faces and bodies but not very much on carving the ladies. And I'm looking for instruction on carving a realistic representation. Can someone help me, please?

Thanks to all who reply.

With best regards,

Clumsy Eddie (Stephen)

I know Harold Enlow does a female face in his Carving Faces and Expressions book, but I think you are better off with Ian Norbury's book.
