In this video, I’m breaking down the basic layout of facial structure for wood carving. Understanding the underlying planes and proportions of the face is an important foundation for creating a convincing portrait, whether you’re just starting out or looking to improve your carving skills.

I’ll walk through the basic placement of the major facial features and how I approach establishing the structure before moving on to the finer details. Learning to see the face as a series of simple forms can make the carving process much easier and more predictable.
