first time figure carving

[cyberkid]

This is my very first work,I know there are some mistakes but all starts are difficult.
We have horses therefore for this difficult project!
Especially if you only learn from YouTube, 
And the only book from Al Stohlman that I bought I like your advice.

I can't give you any advice but I like it!

For a first, that isn't bad.  You seem to have an eye to see things not everyone does (which is a good thing).

You certainly could benefit from what figure carvers refer to as matting.  Stohlman's figure carving book is very good and detailed - I think everybody should have it.

But there's also a very good discussion of this exact thing - matting and carving horses - right on this site.  This is quite good.

thanks for your comments

And the for the tip about matting, and yes Yaklady is very talented ;-)
I try to learn how to use the tool correctly, and still, have a lot to learn.

especially the backgrounds are very difficult.
to get an even patern.
