Pear of Anguish

I took a break from reattempting the thumbscrews, as I'm still not happy with it.
I had really struggled with the angles and straight lines, so wanted to do something smoother and more flowing. I felt that this would be a welcome break and would possibly be a little bit more forgiving.

I found some existing images to use as reference, but wanted to add a higher level of detail to the image so I researched some patterns that I saw as being relevant.

This cut was far more successful and I never had to recut it. It went much better because I really took my time, and any slight errors were easier to rectify, although I didn't really make many. I think that carving the smoother cuts and more fluid line work came more naturally than the sharp line work of the previous cuts.
