thanks JJ...........still working on it, takes a long timeI'm hoping it'll turn out.............exceptable that is
Dani.........papart1 (Rob) here. I find a pic somewhere, scan to affinity photo, do what I want, print, scan the printed page, print with film, transfer THEN make 3-4 transfers to useI often wonder at the folk who say they just draw the design straight onto the metal, I admit I'm transferring too. It's hard to photograph bulino. I get the light on it... tap on the engraving (on my phone) and then drag the light balance so the whole thing is much darker. Keep going and sharing.
For transferring I use procreate on my iPad. I make the opacity about 60% then trace over all the main distinguishing features like the eyes, nose, main lines of feathers, changes in lighting etc. then I transfer just the lines to the metal with a standard acetone transfer. Gives me accurate clean lines which make the proportions come out correct. The rest is up to getting the various textures, lighting, and contrast correct.I often wonder at the folk who say they just draw the design straight onto the metal, I admit I'm transferring too.

Like to see that when completed please. RobOnce the transfer is done I go over it with light dot cuts to outline everything so I can remove the transfer. These dots are tiny and spaced apart like in this photo. Hopefully this helps! Getting the layout and proportions correct was the hardest part for me when I first started bulino.
probly can do with inkjet too......................I don't have the pro yet, saving for the next 10 yearsFor transferring I use procreate on my iPad.

So Mr. Mike..........the transfer is sent to the printer, then the transfer film is used with the edited opacity printed on the film, reversed of course?Once the transfer is done I go over it with light dot cuts to outline everything so I can remove the transfer.

the tracing part for me would be a challenge.....For transferring I use procreate on my iPad.
