Default My attempt...
I thought I would try my hand at a Pete Leclair head, so here are my attempts from his book "Carving Caricature Head & Faces" These are something different for me, typically I stick to flat plane, so any comments are welcome. Thanks for looking.

Eric

Eric. To me this has more of a finished look than flat plane. You did a great job following his instructions. Be sure to do some more. They will just keep getting better.
