I really wanted to carve and film this dog. He's just the best. Carving is very simple and enjoyable. Also, for safe whittling, I tried to use a longer stick and cut it to size at the end of the work. So, this type of carving will be a great project for beginners. It also relates to my previous video:

In this video, the wooden sculpture is 45 mm in length (the final measurements, after sanding) and the block of wood has a diameter of 25 mm. If you measure from the head:
1. Head - 13mm (carve a vertical line for the head diagonally).
2. Front paws - 10mm
3. Belly - 10mm
4. And back paws - 12mm
I make the back paws larger than the front paws. And don't forget to carve the side lines for the belly diagonally.
For painting, I use watercolors: white, light brown, brown for shadows, and black for the nose and eyes.
Also, I made a longer version of this video:

Thank you for your time, and good carving to you.
