This is the best face carving video on KZfaq and trust me I've watched them all. Thanks Van! Linker talked about you on his live video the other day didn't know if u saw it.

I love your teaching style Van! I love watching your videos and I was hoping you could do a quick video on carving closed or sleeping eyes. Thanks so much for your videos.

The best face carving video Ive seen. Many thanks. Much respect for your skills 👏

Love your work, learning myself and having fun. Watching and trying as many things as I can. Thank you.

Awesome job carving and videoing.

I just saw your video and your explanation gave me the inspiration to work on a root ! I’m going to try to carve a goblin or something close.

Yes! Thank you!

Only just found you ,thanks for showing us your skills ,ive liked and subd . greetings from Wales UK .

This was randomly recommended to me but glad it was, great video ^.^ subscriber gained

Very nice video

Thank you for your videos. I love the easy way you do your eyes. Could you please show the difference in carving a female face. Cheers

Is there a chance that you would do a video on the female face and head? Real like your teaching videos.

Thank you very much Van Kelly for you amazing tutorial video, question , what knives you recommend to start as a beginner, I have some knives but need to be sharperned real nice

Wonderful tutorial. Would love some links to recommendations for the tools you are using.

Ty for your Tutelage 👍👍👍👍🍺😎

Thanks for sharing all for free. Very generous of you. So many wood carvers want to charge for lessons.

Nice video

Hallo. I'm from Indonesia. Thanks you for the knowledge you provide. So far I have been carving from Cantigi wood roots. and how can I buy a set of carving knives like that?

What do you use to keep your knife sharp?

Van, very nice video and I will use it to improve my eye carving. My recommendation is to list the size tools you use. In the video you mentioned the size of one of the u-gouges. I would like to know the size of the v-gouge (or v-tool) and the size of the soft v-tool. The size of the knife is not as important because I usually use a 1.5 inch knife. Please continue to make carving videos, I enjoy your carving and teaching style. Every video helps me learn something to improve my carving. Thanks!

How do you know what grade basswood is when you buy it ?

👍🏻👍🏻🤠🤠

What kind of wood is that one that are you using.

What is that book you're holding is the last short?

Excellent audio but camera work detracts from visual learning

I draw a lot of simple faces and characters. If I send you a copy of one of my drawings, do you think you could carve me a face to match? I would pay for it of course.

Nope, not even the eyes turned out for me. 😢
