Best thing is just to get the tools you need as you need them and just start carving your butt off and offering your stuff up for sale. We Always need more artists around. Post your stuff with progress shots along the way and you will be getting feedback most likely. Don't ask for it and it will come. There are several threads here that will help you as far as technique and tools. HERE is the Main one you want for info about stone and jade carving tools as well as tips and tricks. HERE is one for all tool info for Wood tikis and general stuff along those lines Here is One more for stone carvers tools and info. So read these assignments along with the rest of the TC reading and you will be chillin in no time.
