The 12 days of Christmas: elephant carving day 5

If you didn’t watch this over Christmas, and you like elephants, then you really should.

Having roughed out the elephant, this is the stage where work appears to slow down. The process of getting the detail into the elephant takes time. Within the roughed out shape you know that, about 1cm down, the elephant lurkes. I am beginning to sketch out the head details first.
