Critique Request Bulino Lion

[Jerellrodriguez]

This is my 3rd or 4th attempt at engraving an animal, I’ve only been engraving for a little over a year and would love to hear you alls thoughts. I’m fairly happy with the turn out but know that I could do it better in time. Any critiques are appreciated.

Thank you for the book suggestion. I’m always looking for good reference material. I will certainly pick this book up.

Nice lion and well done.
Looks to be a practical cut depth for wear on a lighter.

Thank you very much John. I am hoping that it doesn’t wear too much over time haha! I guess it depends on the person who is using it.

Over all very nice but I wonder if he could use a little more depth from shading. Maybe something like this....
