Default A Lady w/ a Little Help from My Friends

Here's the finished "Hooker Needs Help" stick.

My thanks to all of you who gave me input and advice, making the improvements, I hope, possible.

These are the before and after shots. If you can't tell which is which, I need more help.

That looks great. I think feminine faces are absolutely the hardest to do. And you seem to have it nailed.
Goog job,
Bob

Hi Bob T,

Thanks for the compliment but hardly true. I strugglebig time with each and every face I do, and it's like life, some good, some not so good.

That is nice. Looks to me that female faces would be harder to do. I think I'll stick with rough, weathered faces for now.

Thank you Corey, Kenny and Troutbum.

I'm still not completely satisfied with her but she's okay.

Ron, you definitely have a God given gift. She is absolutely gorgeous, you captured beauty in that one for sure. You should be very proud of every piece you carve, all things considered. Thank you Ron, it's a pleasure to view your work.
