I used an xacto knife to carve a rough shape I drew on with a pencil, and sanded ~2mm using 60-1200p sandpaper. Eyes still aren't as symmetric as I'd like, but I'm hoping to hide some crimes with the painting since I'm not confident enough in my sanding to guarantee that I won't take another 1-2 mm off to no effect.

My main difficulty is with the thickness dimension of the thing. I've gotten it symmetric from some viewing angles, but not from others. I also noticed that the shadows the eyes cast on themselves weren't the same sharpness. Without an evenly lit workspace, it was a lot of going back and forth to a light source.

I definitely should have left myself more sanding-room when I made my initial cut, but what's done is done, and I think it's still just about within the tolerance of the aesthetic I'm going for. Safety factor of ~1.

Took this photo so I can play around with it in photoshop while I figure out what sort of mouth I'm going to carve, and whether or not I want to fuck with the rest of the shape some more (likely not)
