Very good first try. What book is the page from?

Have you thought of making a light box? Makes life much nicer for photographing small objects. Pretty much cut the sides out of a cardboard box, cover with paper and leave one side open, then shine lights through the paper. Works especially well for objects with a high specularity, such as finished wood.

-- Ooo, er.

Super work, especially for the first time. Very impressive.

Topamax-
The page is from “The Art of Animal Drawing” by Hultgren (he was a Disney animator). The book is from the ‘50s. His take on art is inspiring. As you would expect from an animator, it is all about lines of strain and motion.

Thanks. The guy behind the plow looks just like my dad did, but he used mules.

Nice work. Your artistic talent shows. I want to give relief carving a try. Doubt my first effort will be up to this standard.

Even for beginning, you did a great job choosing a good design. That’s a solid for any project. Great carving!
