A little Halloween themed wood carving going on .....how am I doing?

After a break from woodcarving I'm back and have just finished oiling my latest creation....Frankenstein....what do you think?

Daily Log #2 (no pun intended)

Daily Log #1 A superb example of the shape and consistency I can achieve

Freshly oiled and ready to paint...should I?

I had to show you the refinements I've made with the basswood car ing of a face I'm doing, I'm genuinely happy with it....whats your opinion? Also should I oil or paint or both?

Last photos of the wood carved head work in progress before I finish the ears and paint it... Am very pleased with my progress, and can see my own improvements but curious what u all think? Criticism, or judgements accepted ))

Further progress on the large head I'm carving from basswood, eyebrows added, hair added, some light sanding..

Further progress update on the large basswood carving of a head I'm pursuing.....possibly my most ambitious carving yet....how's it looking so far?

Latest woodcarving is taking shape, carved out of a harder, larger piece of basswood....pleased with the proof of work so far )) what do u think?
