started to cut away some of the hair, the lettering, and started the top of his collar. the lion layout is visible. should i maybe cut this down to where it's more smooth first ? and then do the layout all over again ?
i warned you people you'd all be sorry !

were it me
take a big flat
cut around the outline at a 45 degree angle to set the depth
do that on the other major elements

carve back the round part of the nose
that will set your first plane
then go further in
dont screw up what you have already done
adjust as necessary
ill wait till your next pic

use the biggest gravers you have then as you detail in go to smaller ones
just like painting
