    Posting for Critique

    Of course, this is horribly copied from something that Sam did at one time. Everything I do is copied from Sam Alfano or Ken Hunt. I will play with this one a bit more before I shade, because I do not like the leaves. Please bash this, critique it, give tips, whatever you think and please be...

    Also, I think i should maybe do something very simple first to make sure i have the simple things figured out first.

    Question: I’m assuming that spines should be drawn without French curves? Is that correct? I figured that the leaves and other elements would flow better if it was all done by hand.

    I say "throw away", but I really I just add it to a gigantic stack of old doodles an such. I will take your advice and keep better records. I will clean it up some and post update pics. Thank you so much!

    I should mention that I am posting this to also force myself to "finish" something to the best of my ability. I always just doodle/practice and throw it away.

    We shall see lol. Anyway, I normally start with something like this. The scroll on the left is currently 7 ins tall by 4 ins wide. EDIT: I drew a little harder than normal so it would be more visible.

    Rococo style

    I love this.... I have been working hard on the (butterfly-ish) shape in the bottom and top of your drawing. My hand is being stubborn and not wanting to move that way haha. Again, this (like ALL of your work) is perfect and stunning. Your way of "fixing things" is amazing! Edit: This may have...

    Ken Hunt thread - engraving and artwork

    Yep, Ken Hunt AND Sam Alfano have taught me EVERYTHING I know! I have been lurking and learning here since 2018. I haven't spoken up much since I have been here, but I have listened a TON, and practiced even more. I truly can not express my gratitude in words! When people see my drawings, they...

    Hello from Lafayette, LA

    Ok, here goes... this is my second attempt. I’ve also included a pic of my tools. I have no idea what I’m doing obviously. Lol. But it is very calming to me. Y’all bash away... I’ve learned that it’s the only way to get better.

    Hello from Lafayette, LA

    Mmmm... not sure if I’m ready for that lol. I have never drawn, engraved, or done any type of art whatsoever, and my engravings perfectly encompass this massive art void. They are TERRIBLE... nope worse than terrible. I should probably practice a little more first. However, I’m not the shy type...

    Hello from Lafayette, LA

    Hi all! My name is Kevin Zito. I make knives, and thought it would cool to add some engraving to my work. I’m a hobby Knife maker and still very much a rookie, but I seem to have developed an addiction to anything concerning metal. I began doodling scrolls and leaves, and decided to start trying...
