thank you so much terry and carl. your feedback is really very appreciated. try it out as i described, but feel along the way, how it is going for you, the tutorials are meant only to show the way, one way of many that is possible, but the key is to use a reference, and just copy the hills and valleys you see on the reference, do not stumble in the dark without really knowing what you want carve ... even when you follow only that one advise, you will make leaps and bounds in your progression...

Beautiful job on all three blogs.

I have saved and printed them out and plan on carving all three, in process of collecting my recommemnded refernce materials.

I felt you explained the process very well and clear, I'm looking forward to this self challenge of masterinf these three important aspects of thr face.

Thanks so much for this educational carving process, I have definitly learned from it.

Bill
