Man Mask (Thread #2) Here I am starting to establish planes on the face and going a little deeper in at the eye sockets( 9F/13 mm gouge) right there in the first pic. the second pic you can see two small black dots I put on right there in the inside corner of the sockets by the bridge of the nose, you want to get good and deep right there, ( this is the area where you will cut in the deepest on the face) Pic.# 3 I am cuting (11/10mm gouge) right up along side the smile line right into the inside corner of those sockets and then pic#4 relieving that cut with the (9F/13 mm)right into the inside corner of that eye socket again.. The last pic. I am shaping the cheeks ,with a (5/16mm gouge) take just enough off to give this area some shape,the gouge is flipped upside down and I am leting the tool dictate the shape. |

| | Re: Mtn. Man Mask (Thread #2) I agree Bob that is a great tutorial in only five pictures I would love to see you do one from start to finish of that carving. I learned a whole bunch from just these five pictures. Thank you so much for sharing that great job BTW. I look forward to seeing more on this thread.

| | Re: Mtn. Man Mask (Thread #2) Colin...check out the similar thread in the WIP section, "Mtn. Man Mask"....he has started it from the beginning. Another five photos there. Thus, this being Thread #2.
Geez Colin...you have to get on here more, you're losing your touch. Must be the new type work that has you all off!
