Progress continues… ⚒️🏃🏻♂️
So many little details in the face to get right still, but it’s coming along. Carving from photos rather than a physical model has been a challenge, particularly in relief where the subject is positioned at an angle like Hal is here. Getting the perspective right is key. For example, carving a nose is difficult. At least for me I fend them very difficult. But now imagine carving that same nose not 1:1 but angled and having to create the illusion of real depth. I feel like relief carving is almost like painting with stone in that sense. It’s both sculpture and two dimensional illusion all in one. I’ve done relief before but never something this complex. It’s definitely been a learning experience and I have a lot left to learn before I’m comfortable working in this style.
