Flat-plane carving with just a knife

FLAT-PLANE CARVING: The Scandinavian flat-plane style of woodcarving is a style of figure carving. The figures are carved in large flat planes, created primarily using a carving knife. Tool marks are left in the carving and very little rounding or sanding is done. Wikipedia
Actually I used two knives (OCC large roughing 2 1/4” and detail 1 3/8”)
This is my second attempt on this style of carving, more on back to basics.
