Default Frowning Cowboy Head

Attached is a photo of a quick head I did this afternoon of a frowning Cowboy. There are 40 photos of how I did it on the Blog below.

Just viewed your blog....looks good, but I'd change the title to "Pouting " or reduce the lip.

Lynn .. Thank you for being so unselfish with your wonderful pieces .. The blog is great ... If ever beginning carvers could see the correct way in shaping a head .. This is definately one of them ...
I still say .. a picture is worth a thousand words .. and just seeing this help's so many carvers get the general idea of how the head and face is shaped ..
The wonderful thing is to not to copy .. but use the cuts and design to create our own style from ..
Thanks for sharing this great lesson ...
Gene
