Carve a Female Face with Only Two Tools - Tutorial

You might struggle to carve a female face and there's a very simple reason for that…they're more complex than a male face.

Here's a list of things you can do to make your woodcarvings of faces more female or feminine looking rather than male looking:

Flat or vertical forehead which then slopes to the hair
Higher and thinner eyebrows which are arched
More plump lips which are closer to the nose and chin
Smaller more pointy chin
Less pronounced jaw which is more curved
Eyes set further forward/less pronounced brow
Thinner nose bridge
Bigger eyes help with the illusion
Fuller, rounder cheeks
Nose tip pointed up a little
Eyes slanting up at the outside corner
