Straight Lines So when should you carve a straight line or flat surface on a caricature carving? Never, unless you are carving a ruler, even then, I might not make it perfectly straight.
Take a look at some of the better caricature carvings in ChipChats, WCI, or Carving magazine; you will find very few straight lines.
When viewed from any direction, you should not see anything smooth, flat, or straight. With very few exceptions. |
