Scale + Proportion Phase

Organic Wood Carving​​
Step 2:

Front View

Side View

Top View

I always play with the proportion and scale of the wooden piece on paper. I guess I could have taken another picture as my pencil lines were all over the place testing out different sizes.
The benefit of paper is that it is quick tool to experiment with the look of different sizes of the wooden piece and it's cheap. I also start to try to imagine how I want the wooden lines to glue up. I usually build up a wooden sculpture by gluing up a lot of smaller wooden pieces.

In addition, I try to draw out the different views I would have of the three-dimensional wood piece: front, side, and top perspectives. I will share more about why this is useful in the next lesson.
