    Critique Request Some doodles to show

    i'd spend some time with a pencil to create hilite and gradual transitioning to darker shade values. the lines you show on the bear are never going to appear natural. perhaps that was your goal but simply never pushed the drawing that far. it's a very good thing to create with a pencil first...

    Question: What 1911 to use as a canvas?

    there are those of us that get good tips and ideas from folks that are a bit reluctant to chime in here. your idea is an excellent one. no reason for a newbie to do a "first" on such an item. it's a learning experience without the danger of ruining an otherwise pricey firearm.

    Question: how old are these gravers

    be careful. many of those oldies were used on soft metals in jewelry stores. many will not work on harder materials such as steel. my understanding is that some could be heat treated to work on harder mtls. only way to know is give each a try on mtls of different hardness.
