Carving / whittling a nose for beginners

Quick over view of how I set up my noses on my small whittles

[@bryanrobertson8439]

I took up woodcarving after retiring last year. I've done carricature and cartoon faces but had a tough time jumping into more realism. Your videos crossed the void. I can do sooo much more now. I really appreciate it. Cheers !

Great to hear

Thanks Ben for such a clear explanation. I also echo the comments of a previous reviewer, the Somerset accent is truly welcome.

Fantastic video Ben. I struggle doing noses, so I really appreciate you showing how to get the nose “into” the face. Keep the videos coming. Love your work!

[@thesomersetwhittler]

Thanks Russ appreciate that, ‘ into the face ‘ will make it more realistic and give that depth that makes it feel real. Noses are a struggle for me too but the whole face can come from a good nose structure so it’s worth practicing- keep up the practice mate 👍🏻

[@michaelkoster8412]

Thank your for the demonstration. I really liked how you covered the noses!

[@thesomersetwhittler]

Thanks for the feedback Michael 👍🏻 and you’re welcome ☺️

[@tonyhuncovsky433]

video step-by-step very clear .but when I'm trying to follow you I'm having to stop and start the video trying to keep up so maybe if you could pause the video in between step-by-step that would help greatly

[@pete2109]
