| | Just Carved Another. I appreciate the tips on the other post I have. I made this side walk narrow at the steps and wider at the beginning. It makes the grass look more level instead of straight up and down. Very simple to do, I just didn't realize how easy.
Thanks again |

| | Re: Just Carved Another. much much better!  You can even widen the very front out more...perspective is a funny thing, and once you get the hang of it, seems to come automatically.....I say that, but have been painting for 40 years or more! well....guess thats automatic ha ha  |

| | Re: Just Carved Another. Much better but, you door entry, on the right, you see it going inward but not on the left. Now if it is a matter of angle or prespective, then the steeple should show the leftside a little to coorspond to the doorentry. JHMO.
You have done a great job. |

| | Re: Just Carved Another. Your improvement shows with each one, but I think you've already gotten a recognizable thieme and style that is surely appreciated by those who get to see them in person.
Good work. Thor |

You have done a great job. | Same with the left side of the building...
I agree with the others though on your progress, from what I've seen you post...great job.
you might try drawing (or carving) a 3/4 view, or a least a bit of an angle rather then a full front view, doing so will add a lot of depth and perspective to your pieces.
keep it up and keep posting your progress. ![004[1]](http://www.woodcarvingillustrated.com/forum/images/smilies/004[1].gif)
