I want to learn to carve leather. Where I can start?
I wanted to make leather masks and how, as professionals do. They quite a good amount of money from commissions mask and such, so I wanted to see if I could too! I'd love to hear some answers to these Question: How is leather in general? It need any special tools, or I can do everything by hand? How do I go about finding leather? Any special name or something I should know? Is it worth the cost? and of course: How the hell do I? Any input would be fantastic. Thanks! 
The first thing to do would be to do an Internet search to get a first idea about it: for example, http://ranasp.deviantart.com/art/Leather-Mask-Making-Tutorial-41572623 http://www.mask-and-more-masks.com/Leather-Masks.html There is no lack of instruction: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=making+ + from + leather masks
