Don't read, just BS here! Seriously! - Tiki Carving

The rough spots don't look any more noticeable than the suede texture on the lace so I think I'm gonna call it quits and oil him. I just gave him another once over after posting the last pix. The one step removed from reality that photos provide really helps me view my own work objectively, and it's not so hot. I'm so floored that the people in this forum even post comments on this carving. When I look at their work I'm just like...humbled/floored by their artistry. Anyone else try the old trick of looking at your work in a mirror or upside down to check out? I've used the mirror to some success for symmetry corrections painting but the photo seems to do something with the size/scale that can tell u if your composition, shapes or colors are working. After looking at Tipua's thread and then Marcus' thread I'm puffing on my antler pipe with cherry wood stem, nice relaxing Whiskey all natural pipe tobacco. MMMMM. G'night.
