In lumberjack folklore, Kicklesnifters are small creatures that live in men's beards. This piece was sketched roughly into a sketchbook, transferred to tracing paper, and then from the tracing paper transferred to a piece of plywood. I then used a pyrography tool to burn the design into the wood. I chose pyrography due to the origin of the creature being lumberjack folklore.
I like how the face came out, but I'm unsure about the rest. I would have liked to make the background darker, possibly with some woodstain, but had none to hand.
