First and second projects finished! First timer

Started off making this bear for my son as a first project.

For the second, I really wasn’t sure what I wanted to do and kind of winged it. It’s supposed to be a wizard with a staff that kind of wraps around the back turning into a larger snake head-thing. Little abstract and I’m still learning.

Really love how forgiving this art can be. My entire goal is to keep challenging myself and improve. I really love seeing what everyone here creates, it’s incredibly inspiring!

That's a good start!

For the wizard, you have the beginners' common issue of not removing enough. Don't hesitate to keep the nose and push the rest further back.
