Bandsawing the profiles.
 

Searching the main lines in face and hair.
 

Structuring face and hair.
 

Positioning the eyes.
 

Trying to get the desired expression.
 

Detailing face and hair is not a linear, but an iterative process, wavering from hope to fear and so on. Fine sanding was done to achieve a soft appearance, suitable for this sculpture.
