FACE STUDY STICK ~ whittle carved with knives with four faces on each stick ~ one inch wide and and inch and half tall. Each face carved using the Rule of Three for Facial Proportions = Hairline to Eye Brow; Eye Brow to Nose Bottom; Nose Bottom to Chin Bottom in one third divisions.  The width of the face is equal to two, one third proportional comparison or two thirds wide and three thirds length proportionally.

The light colored face study stick in the middle illustrated carving the head and face to Basic Form first and progressing towards finishing with Detail carving. The top two are carved to Basic Form with the third face receiving detail carving of the mouth with pipe in the corner of the mouth.  The bottom face has received detailed carving of the eyes, mouth and cigar in the corner of the mouth.  More detail carving will be required on the bottom face to become like the completed four Face Study sticks on each side of the Basic Form study stiock.
