I took more time with this one. I spent more time with detail and less time frantically concentrating on techniques that are begging to become familiar.
It gets to be even more fun once one can relax.

Rob,
It comes with time. You will find yourself one day looking back and asking "when did I start getting the hang of this" I have to admit I expected to see some sort of dragon or sea creature based on your caption. Like the bright colors.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Mark

Hey, Rob, you've been carving up a storm. You did good. Nessie's a cutie.

You're right about the relaxing bit.
