Default He's a sad fellow
Here's my latest little carving, Carved in basswood still waiting for paint,
Maybe he'll be happier when he's painted. Hope you like it.

Alex

You should give him some more character. Split his overcoat and carve him some shoes popping out from the bottom

Good character!

He may be sad now but after you paint him, I'm sure he will perk up. Nice one.
