"Cutie" 14,7 x 15,5cm, backer board 4mm, cutie 4mm. Nothing to say about this one. It's cute. "Horse" 15 x 19,5cm, backer board 6mm, horse 4mm This one has an 'oldschool cartoon character' feel to me. Silly, but likeable. "Bon appetit" 21 x 21,9cm, backer board 6mm, vulture 4mm This one taught me not to use the cheapest plywood, especially not in combination with a dull blade. Terrible tearouts on the backside, took a looong time to sand those down. Saved a few cents, gained a lot more work and frustration. |

I'm always impressed with these sort of 'one shot's skills. That is, the type of skills where one mistake and you either throw it away or live with it. Water colours are another. What youve just put down is it, unlike oil paints where you normally have several DAYS to just keep going over it. Well done 🧐 |

The first one went so bad that I threw it away. Oddly enough, I'm pretty relaxed about this kind of project, because this hobby taught me that with patience, much practice and perseverance ... Murphy's Law is still out to get me. I have to pull off a flawless victory yet, so knowing that something will probably go wrong, I'm not that stressed out when it happens. I have also learned not to be a bloody perfectionist all the time, because if I settle for good/very good, I'm getting more things done. |

Love the Hagar one! This is such cool work. I think it might be hard for anyone who doesn't engage in a subtractive art like this to appreciate it fully. This lesson you are talking about I learned shaping surfboards. Once you take it off, it is gone, and you can't put it back to take another shot at it. When people ask I always refer to it as foam sculpture. --- Quote from: yamatetsu on May 08, 2024, 10:33:36 am --- --- Quote from: danny_galaga on May 07, 2024, 09:08:57 pm ---I'm always impressed with these sort of 'one shot's skills.
