Here is close up.
from the blurry photo notice smile line under nose, I got a little information from rick-in-seattle, as to what he thought with it being a carature, Baggs under the eyes and raising the smile line up behind the nostrils would be more to his likings,

I agree.. i made modifications and am in the works of getting photos to show the difference.

more to come.

bubblegum & marbles
From basswood:
Camera was a cheap digital but was good enough for the time,

I thought about the playground in school oh so many years ago all while carving this small scene.. just two charters but saying as much about the subject as I could in the time I made for the project,

after thoughts are , where's the pile of winnings,
where's the other marbles they are shooting at, among other things, like dirt.

better efforts will be applied in forth comming diaramas,
