A beautiful day allowed me to crank this guy out in record time. Head and body! Now, on to finishing him up with some color! amate, I always start with the mouth, as that is the deepest part of the whole tiki. From there I just work outwards. Up to the top of the head, then down to the feet. Thanks for the kind compliment on my work, I appreciate it! For finishing just keep experimenting! It took me years of playing with different techniques until I settled on a method I liked.
