This is a charicature carving of a hobo with his hands in his pockets, just hanging around.  I was sitting around one day and decided that I wanted to carve a hobo.  I picked up the sketch pad and drew the outlines and then went to the shop and cutout a roughout.  The carving is 3 inches tall and is done out of basswood.  I will post the final picture now and then add the photos so that you can carve a hobo for yourself, later.  Also checkout my website at GeorgiaCarver.com



This woodcarving is done in a semi-flat plane style.  The paint is a light acrylic wash.  The carivng is done in one piece except for the stick and the bag. The stick is actually a piece of a bamboo skewer and the bag is carved out of a scrap piece of basswood.
