Unfinished...frustrated!
« on: January 19, 2013, 12:36:08 pm »
I stopped cutting this one.  Jaw line is wrong and I don't even know why it's wrong...just doesn't look right.  Any advice?

Wow Anne, that is pretty intense! Personally, I don't see a problem with it. I think it looks fine. Go ahead and finish it. If you don't like it when it is finished, someone else will!

I agree. I think it looks really great.  I don't see anything wrong with it at all.  It is a great replication and difficult to do with the fence in front of him.  I also think you need to finish it.  Maybe you just have been looking at it too long. Give it a couple of hours or overnight and go back to it. You may like it better later.

I echo the comments above!

Set it aside for a while and finish it...

Looks really nice so far, I agree with everyone, have a short break then finish it.

Oh Ann, Don't quit on this, it is fantastic.  I think Sheila is spot on, walk away from it for a bit and then go back and finish it.  You will be glad you did.

Looks great to me.  Finish it and let someone other than you judge it, I bet you will find that they do not see any issues.

That is great. It looks like he is wearing a watch cap and a turtle neck sweater. Then I have to ask. Does it look like the photo? I too am my own worst critic.
