Antler shelf looks great in the background.

Don't you just love the way Doug is chuckling like a boy when he shows off the hiking guy, putting all the other guys around him. "And then, Jim's gonna come and say hi!" 😁 Keep up your good work, Doug, the world needs this kind of fun!

Pencil in the colored part of the eye. Brilliant!

Möonrose Rosemöon Magical Drawings I’m sorry that isn’t quite what I meant, I know that many hobbies are just as amazing to others and that everyone should love whatever their hobby is. I was just saying that for me and for many others I’m sure, this is one of the best hobbies. Sorry I wrote it in a way that it could be misinterpreted. Thank you for the constructive feedback and I will be sure to contemplate my comments before posting them. I also believe in creative independence and that it is extremely important for people to branch into and discover their own creative interests and peace. However, I am a very beginner and also believe that in order to properly achieve the goal of finding that creative patch in your brain that you need a teacher, and Doug is my favorite. He goes at a pace and clearly explains each step while also keeping the audience entertained. So Doug if you do read this, I’m sorry and I didn’t mean to put any pressure on you to post videos, I and I’m sure many others would like you to enjoy what you do and not feel any pressure or stress to put out content. But, your content is always top notch and I always smilie when I see your video in my subscription box. Keep doing what your doing Doug.

@@jackson4378 Don't let the overly offended that purposefully misinterpret your comments get to you. You'll learn the hard way if you do.

"Yeah, I meant to do that" LOL! The essence of caricature carving! No such thing as a mistake, only design changes. Great carving, sir!

after you carve i bought my first carving knife. going to try something new. never to old to learn something new, turned 80. thanks for sharing all of us.

Hey Doug, Just wanted to say something. I started watching your videos for the Bush craft and trips. I've never had any desire to carve or anything like that. That being said I still watch all your videos and I enjoy every single one. I appreciate what you do and in these weird times I just wanted to say thanks and keep it up.

He is really neat looking. Awesome craving.

Doug you are one talented guy. Not only do you carve you can paint it and bring it alive. Amazing for sure. God bless you and your family. Be safe. Love your channel.♥️🇺🇸🌹

I just love them all!TY Doug ,stay safe and take care :)everyone😇

Hey Doug, do you have any plans of showing us how to carve your hiker? He’s probably one of my favorites and would love to try it alongside your tutorial. Thanks

Hey Doug, Really like your channel. I've carved many of your carvings. I'm carving the gnome now. I would like to try carving this one too. I'm guessing the starting block on this carving was around 5''x2''x2''. Is that correct? I might try carving this one from pictures I clip from the KZread video. Just need a starting size, please?

Beautiful carving and painting! Love all you do!! 💓 Peace and Good Fortune and Good Health to you and your family.

Great job Doug! I learn something new in every video! Thank you!

i just loved this one. better then anything on tv today

I have followed you on your carving journey since day 1. Look at where you have come. Excellent. Finest kind. Thank you.

Best paint tutorial I’ve seen. Thanks Doug 😎

Hey Doug. Thank you for taking us along for the ride, another awesome video. Be safe and healthy my friend.

I have a vest just like that. Wore it to coffee this morning.

I'm amazed every time I watch your videos! Wish I had those skills. You got a great life! Thank you for sharing.

What fun!

Awesome project. Thanks

learning a lot from you doug. thank you so much. i have done lots of figure for my 9 months old son. he will appreciate the value of them when he was older.

Wife and I love it. We think he should go on a day hike. Thanks so much for all you share with us.

Little Yule Gibbons, I love it. He's a different style of character than some. Exploring the different painting techniques is fun too. Great job Doug as usual. Thanks for taking us along.

Nice job of bringing him to life like that with the paints.

Thank you for sharing this with us Doug. 👍😁

I admire your skills and hard work - wood carving is something I aspire to. Thanks for all your hard work and effort to share.

Love it!

Brilliant as usual Doug , your videos are just great 😃 .

Nice stuff mate looks good stay safe be well buddy. Cheers mate from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺

Thank you Doug. You make it all look so easy. I have everything but knives to start. Got a gunny bag full of Bass Wood from my son who moved to Alaska. I’m in no hurry. Just bowing to others, and haven’t had to curtsy YET.

Love the subtle colors you use

Good evening . Thank you as always for a great video. I really appreciate you showing the dry brushing. I have seen it finished but never how to. So thank you.

Doug like the carving with stick looks great .

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us Doug im really getting into this now ,and it opens so many doors as a hobby i enjoy the painting side too , I was looking at palm gouges and the prices are a bit steep for me im afraid ,i cant justify paying that much in this economic climate lol .BUT i found an Ausie bloke who was making gouges from hacksaw blades they looked good and really worked . so ive started making the jigs ive been and got some lime wood from up the fields to turn the handles down with the wood lathe another new hobby ,i might even show making them on my channel . If some out there are good with there hands and want to have a go at doing there own gouges especially those little V ones they could save a bob or two ,anyway keep em coming ive found your the best teacher on you tube keep em coming all the best Ant from Wales UK .

Great stuff as always Doug! Great job!

Doug thank you this was great. I need to do a carving to tryout the eye technique. I really needed a full show just on painting.

Nicely done Doug!👍🏼

Thanks Doug that was awesome! 👍👍💯💯

Hey Doug. I tried your scouting pad idea. And it works wonders. Thank you for the tip. Love the videos.

Always love your videos! Your personality is great...don't change a thing. I missed your live , but watched it later! I'll try to catch the next one! Stay healthy!

Thanks Doug. Great painting tips and I love the finished product. My painting needs all the help I can give it🤪. Really appreciate all the content you have posted during these new-style days. True North Carver

Greetings from Norway 😊Thanks for your channel. Much appreciated 😊 I’ve ordered my first carving knife and are looking forward to try out some carving. Great tutorials you have.

Doug Tnx's Your video can only improve my painting. Do you only paint skin with blush, never flesh?

Always a great video! Stay safe!!

That dude came out really good. 👍👍

Quite relaxing to watch. I love how the colors look when you have them watered down. I have done 9 carvings so far and haven't painted a single one yet because I'm scared I'll mess them up. lol Thanks for the video.

Nice job! I like those brushes. Can you post the name of them and where you got them?

Your content is exactly what I need during this Covid-19 crisis. I get so happy when I see that you have posted something new. Greetings from rainy California.

That was awesome

Mr. Doug he is wonderful. I wish I could get close to your level. I am working on it. Maybe if I would have tried before age 59, but now I am 60. This virus though has given me lots of time to keep trying. Stay safe and well. Thanks for these videos, you have inspired me.

Another great one Doug.

Hey Doug, I have watched a number of other woodcarvers with a similar style as yours, but I have to admit, very few of them perform virtually real time demonstrations like you, or talk to your audience like you do for us here. You never insult or belittle - always encouraging us to take a stab at it, knowing we all had to start somewhere. I also look forward to your videos because you make me feel like I'm there with you and you're showing this trained monkey how it's done. I know I'll regret the day you stop creating new projects like these - to include your video on making a stropping board that I copied for myself (I made two, LOL). Keep up the great work. I always look forward to you next cool carving. Stay well.

All my carvings are solid painting. Next one is gonna be using this technique.

Always a great video Doug ..keep it up my friend

Hey Doug, you and your wife, should make back bropps of scenery to stage and do a short story with your carvings. Like come up with a funny joke, like what did the hiker said to the bear 🐻 in the woods. Give that some thought making a small staging that looks like they are in the woods on a mountain ⛰. Each one of your carvings can tell a story from the looks of them.

He looks great.. he resembles my friend Gus... thanks for sharing...

Great Talent Brother....God Bless you...still holding up you and Joseph....Paul

Doug, a good sealer is shellac. It dries in about 30 minutes.

I do not have a paint pallet. I use the empty, clean meat trays from the grocery store. I then just toss them out when i am done. Loved the little guy.

You are just such a talented man. Was a lot of fun watching you paint this little hiker. I use to do wood crafts and tole painting so enjoyed this immensely. I agree with you I like the stain version over straight up paint. Would love to see you and your wife do some crafting together again. Your whole family is very talented. Keep up the great work. I also enjoyed your live chat last night. By the way who has the cleanest craft room you or your wife? Yours is very organized.😘

I always give my carving a light sand before I paint, like you said, it prevents any wood from chipping off.

I bet you could carve the cutest tortoise standing on all four feet and with a goofy grin!!

Enjoyed the flow....

You should call him "The Wanderer" along the mountain track. Hahahaha! Merry Ann from Minnesota

You're carving their looks lighten the bow hunter Dan Fitz Gerald Fitz Gerald outdoors. Thank you for the video I really enjoy it! God bless you and your family!🙏

Best way to self isolate.

👍👍👍

Very nice painting

he looks great as do all his friends ;-)

It is so relaxing watching you work. Thanks!

Hello Doug! You are "un grand enfant" It's important to stay like this🙃! I hope carving many friends and dream to Salut!

Great 1/2 hour Doug.

I really like how you did the hair, I have always wondered hoe that was done. thanks Doug

Hi Doug, awesome carving and painting video. I really like that hiking bear that joined the party. Do you have a video on him?

👍🏼

👍🏻👍🏻🤠🤠

Hello Dug: I'm getting my first carving set and i as all ways trying to make a spoon with only a robust Mora i did ok but it's not good enough. And i have a beginner carving set and I'm a little excited. For the carving set.
