You can also easily transfer your own pencil drawings. I just take a photo of my pencil drawings on my phone then edit them into a true black and white picture. Then I just open them on the computer, resize, print and transfer.
I also just use regular paper and straight acetone.
The shading is definitely an area I need to improve in. I’m trying to focus more on than in my next design. I will post it when I finish it. Went ahead and cut this design on a practice plate. I’m pretty happy with some areas. Others still need improvement.
I have been trying to come up with scroll design that takes inspiration from Calla Lillies. Here are a couple of sketches I’ve done that capture the idea I have.
I would greatly appreciate any input you may have.
Thanks,

Hello from Mississippi!
New to engraving but I’ve always been good at making stuff so I recently machined this engraver out of some brass. Also modified a tire inflator and set out to practice some simple scrolls.
Been enjoying it so far!
