Default First woodspirit WIP

This is based on the woodspirit from the Wood Spirits and Green Men book I got for my birthday Done with my Pocket Pal, a Frosts carver and my one decent gouge. Not detail yet really but getting there

Ovr here there's an advert for 'deep set wrinkle cream' - my partner says this guy needs 'deep set eye cream'! I must admit I'm pleased with how it's going though

Thanks for the kind words

MA, burning and carving is not the same as playing with matches and knives.

Hi Grimnir,

Very nice first. It seems like you've already found your own style. I like it. Next you need to do him on a walking stick so everyone can see him when you go for your stroll.
