    Photorealistic/Advanced bulino questions

    Just realized I said I have one question at the start of my post then proceeded to ask about a dozen. Guess that’s what happens when you go down the engraving rabbit hole!

    Photorealistic/Advanced bulino questions

    One question I have for advanced level of bulino is how does one achieve that truly photo realistic look. For example if you look for masters like firmo&francesca fracassi, Geoffrey lignon, etc it’s as if a black and white photo is set into steel. Just thinking through the problem in my head...

    Critique Request Elephant bulino

    Thanks for the feedback! That’s one big issue for me is the proportion of different features. Guess I was a bit off with the eyes. I see what you mean though. I’m going to leave it for now. Reason being I like to take feedback and apply it to the next piece. Down the road when I have the skills...

    Critique Request Elephant bulino

    Just finished up this project, let me know what you all think. Put about 30 hours total into it over the course of a few weeks. Most of that time was at work while on lunch 1/2 hour at a time. Made from grade 2 titanium. The whole piece other than the background was done with a Lindsay angle...

    Engraving à la Archibald McLees (1817-1890)

    this forum is so cool, you can ask questions about the most niche engraving related topics and get an answer. Just fantastic! If you are looking for an individual who loves to share knowledge and is a master penman and also an engraver look up Jake weidmann. The man’s work is top knotch.

    Peregrine falcon scrimshaw

    It may be a bit large, this was my reference photo. Still fairly new to scrimshaw. Lots of practice to go. I find getting proportions right to be the most challenging part.

    Hand engraving micro script lettering

    How large is your heel? Must be extremely small. One swipe on a 2000 grit stone?

    Job I Just finished Winchester reproduction with Nimschke scroll

    Great balance between the dark background and the rest of the piece. Not too much not too little. Great work

    Thanks for the feedback! I agree. Im not super happy with how the branch turned out. Definitely overshadowed the talons.

    Question: Andu Bulino pen quality??

    That looks like a great idea. I’m gonna turn down a longer handle on the lathe to fit as an extended end cap.

    Question: Andu Bulino pen quality??

    Anyone have experience with the Andu pneumatic bulino pen? I have been getting into bulino and scrimshaw a lot this last year and use my Lindsay classic for light powered stippling. Works pretty well but I thing the pen shape form factor would be more ergonomic. For most of the work I use just...
