I keep my early work it helps prevent making simular mistakes .
before i start a project i always do drawings of the subject and research it on the net.when im satisfied with it i make cardboard templates to see how they would look , then modify them ,saves a lot of firewood, but you always say to yourself why didnt id do that afterwards.
Like the imp i carved unsure about the eyes and feet should have stuck to my 1st instinct and not tried to insert the eyes and done more work on the drawings with the feet ,not more carving but made it simple and not try to carve to much detail in small pieces
So we all need to improve our skills but also improve our planning but not fiddle with a item once completed. It goes down hill to oftern
