So I tried to carry over most of the advice given to me from my last freehand, and I'm probably gonna be practicing on this shape style for a bit because I really enjoy pipes wiht negative space.

There's something about the stem that just didn't quite sit right with me too, it probably is the ang...

Unfortunately I'm one of those lost causes who doesn't really enjoy making standard pipes, and am...
