Thanks!

As another perspective, I made a Santa bust last year:

Just out of curiosity, how did you build it? Personally, I usually start
with the face. But this time, I did the hat first, starting as a cone and
then having it fold over to a cone. I had meant to make a full body model
but got stuck after finishing the head, and just stopped there.

I actually started with the shoulders. I knew I wanted somewhat rounded
shoulders and the beard full and curved out. I laid down some 2x4s to judge the
width of the shoulders, I kept moving them out until it felt right. I built up
from there, at around 4-5 bricks up, I felt like the beard wasn’t far enough
out, so I tore that section apart and rebuilt it, 3 or 4 studs deeper. I
considered having the cap tassle on the baseplates, but decided that the
shoulder would look better. (to me). For the nose, I experimented with a few
ideas, before settling on that one with the slopes. I didn’t want the eyes to be
too big, or to not fit on the face, but I lucked out and didn’t have to mess
with it too much. That’s pretty much it.
