Default Flat Plane - ish...

Here are a few of my recent pieces. I'm pretty happy with them, they just ended up rounder then I hoped.
It is my first attempt at a woman, the flowers are artificial. She isn't exactly a beauty queen so any advice to get a more feminine look would be appreciated.
Thanks for looking

Eric

They look great Eric
I have a similar problem rounding my flat plane caricatures too much.
They look recognizable as flat plane though.

Thanks for the kind words. The one on the right is 3 inches, using Gene's pattern. The other 2 started as 1x1x3.5 blocks.

I'm no FP expert, but those look great. I'm wondering if it is possible to do a Beauty Queen FP style.....
