Hey, great job! I especially like the leprechaun! The form is great example
of the quality of building that can be accomplished with just basic brick.
The only suggestion I might make is the red cheeks on Santa stand out a bit
too much. If you had some pink or even hot pink bricks to substitute it might
look nice (imho!). Other than that, they look great! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the feedback! I agree about the red cheeks, but it looks worse
without them, and Santa has to have rosy cheeks!
I build most of my sculptures using only bricks from the 3033 tub (r.i.p.) so
pink is not an option. You’ll also notice I didn’t use any plates either.
There are a couple of reasons for this. One is that people often see
sophisticated LEGO models and say “I could never do that--when I was a kid all
we had was the basic bricks and I wouldn’t know what to do with these fancy
parts.” Building using only those basic bricks kills that argument... Another
reason initially was that I wanted to make sculpture kits to sell, and use 3033
tubs as parts sources for that. But now that the 3033’s history, that wouldn’t
be possible anyway.
