Step 7. Round the eye mounds from the eyebrows to the line drawn earlier. Try to get a good sense of "roundness" in the eye masses. Blend the cut alongside the nose into the cheeks, making a smooth transition. Step 8. Make a stop cut at the bottom of the nose and remove all wood around it. Lower the mouth and chin so that the tip of the nose is the highest point. Start rounding the temples back so that the eye mounds can curl back around the side of the face. Step 9. Deepen the stop cuts around the wings of the nose. Carve smile lines to begin shaping the mound for the mouth. The mouth mound should not be flat. It should round to the smile lines. That way, when you carve the mouth into the mound, it too will be rounded. Step 10. Make a stop cut at the mouth opening. PUf :: ; ; .v. . WgM Step 11. Remove the wood below the stop cut so that the lower lip edge is behind the upper lip. Step 15. Sketch in the eye openings. Use gouges that fit the shape to make stop cuts at the eye openings. I used the No. 4-8mm gouge here. Step 12. Carve in the upper lip by making a slanted cut from the cupid's bow to the mouth line. Step 16. Round the eyeballs and make stop cuts for the upper eyelids. Be sure to slant the tool toward the eyebrows so that you do not chip the eyelids. The No. 3-6mm gouge works well here. Step 13. Make a hollowed cut below the lower lip to begin forming the chin. Round the lower lip into the mouth opening. Step 17. Shape the masses above the eyelid. Notice that the mass above the inside third of the eye is concave and on the outside two thirds the form is convex. Step 14. Make concave cuts at the corners of the mouth and carve the masses of the lips. Step 18. Round off the cor ners of the face and chin. Make stop cuts for the hair next to the neck and lower the wood for the neck. Round the neck and slant it so that the neck is higher where it meets the chin than it is where it meets the chest. 18 • Creative Woodworks S. Crafts August 2002 |
