Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Husain Abdul Alim. I am here to tell you about carving figurines. And after we have split the log in half, we want to decide what is up and what is down. I kind of like this going down, I kind of like this going up. So our next process is grab a marker and define a hairline. We are going to start down here and work our way up to the top. Try to work with some balance. I like it here, it is pretty good, right there. And we can come down here with the nose coming off here. Okay, we got our eyes in, we got our nose in, lastly we are going to put our mouth in. Yah, okay, those are our basic lines and what we are going to do on the ear and our eyeballs we will decide later. Eyelashes here, lines off the head, that kind of thing you know. That all will be decided later. But basically for our beginners we got our lines in there; our nose, our mouth and our eyes. Okay, we got it lined up, we got it scoped out, we got it balanced off."
