As soon as I got my Spring issue of Woodcarving Illustrated, I knew that day that I would be Carving Bruce Ankeny's Wizard Gnome!! How could I not?!? Lots of fun. I cannot stress enough how important trying to do a carving from a book or magazine can be for your progression. You learn how to make those logistical leaps from one step to the next. The steps that aren't written, Bruce wrote a fantastic article, its 7 steps and includes the major points. The ability to be able to figure out the simple steps in between under the guiding hand and form of someone more skilled is a phenomenal way to build your skill, plus its just a fun project!! #woodcarving #wizard #caricature #folkart #fantasyart

An outside the box idea if you're looking for ways to get your hands on examples of caricature carving to hold in your hand for study purposes this is a relatively inexpensive idea you can try. Spit & Whittle was a late-20th-century American woodcarving company best known for its hand-carved caricature head bottle toppers that showed up in gift shops and galleries through the 1980s and 1990s. The designs are from Chris Hammack, a member of the Caricature Carvers of America, which explains the strong feature exaggeration, confident knife cuts, and solid head structure packed into such a small format. Though originally sold as functional barware, they’ve become affordable little master studies in caricature design that still hold up decades later. A great option if you want a fun study piece that wont break the bank. #woodcarving #caricature #caricaturecarving #folkart #woodart

I found a wizard hiding in a piece of basswood. 😆 🤣 honestly I could have found just about anything in that basswood, but wizards with pipes seem to be in the majority of wood I find. #fantasy #fantasyart #dnd #dndart #woodcarving
