In this lesson we model the leaves, starting with in the upper half (forehead and around the cheeks). The leaves are ostensibly oak but owe a lot to the classic acanthus leaf. Thus we need to introduce 'eyes', 'reeds', and 'pipes'.

Ann - I think I get your point here, and you are right. The trick is to shape the 'front' leaves, taking the 'back' ones with you. Then define/set in the front leaves. Then continue to the ones behind, or the next layer back if there are more overlapping.

Chris, would you agree that as one goes with the wood and what's coming out, one of the first steps is to decide which leaves need setting in and which ones are going behind others?
