Resulting planes...paying attention to the message...

Hellboy by R. Lucci
...woodcarving in simplest terms is adding depth and dimension to a three dimensional medium...wood.  To achieve the proper effect one must pay close attention to the cuts being mad even and the resulting planes of the newly created facets.  The images shown here, thanks Rob, are a good demonstration of this.  A closer comparison of the carvings brow line and upper lip line show how a small change in the angle of the cuts made can affect the emotion conveyed.  To achieve the best result focus on the shadows generated.
Still carving..you?
