I am working on the design for a carving of St. Ignatius of Loyola that will be just under a foot tall. The inspiration for this carving comes from a statue that in turn draws its inspiration from a
statue of St. Ignatius that is in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
Some good friends have loaned me additional reference material. Here are the initial sketches I did of the front and side views.
