Vic .. I went back to your other two figures you just did recently and looked at them and compared them to this carving ..
Vic .. I can already see the drastic improvement in this carving from the others .. Your clothing is more detailed .. the face is more refined .. the arms are more defined..
You are doing wonderful Vic .. You should have seen my first carving 's .. my faces were so flat .. they looked like they had been punched in the face ..
You are already showing a better looking figure then I ever had in my sixth or seventh carving ... Congratulations ..
Give a try at painting it and then let us see the results ..
Thanks for sharing
Gene

Vic.. I agree with Gene. Nice job. Try adding a little color and you'll have a museum piece carving on your hands.
