    I -Lee Griffiths- will be covering one seminar. I am doing mine on drawing. More specifically how artists see and think that results in accurate drawings/engravings. I will also cover light and shade fundamentals that are used for 3d shading and better bulino.

    Garage News: Borchardt underway

    Much left to do including reworking some of what you see in the photos but......I'm off to a good start. This is the most difficult gun I've ever been asked to design. A lot of small canvases that need to feel connected and avoid the checkerboard syndrome.

    Garage News: birds and more birds

    Moving very nicely in the right direction. Define the slightly hollow area behind the ribs and in front of the rear leg. The rear end appears to be too high and rounded. Streamline it a bit and possibly lengthen slightly and the muscle on the upper rear leg will come down at a slight angle and...

    Critique Request Finished design?

    Dan is a former student, friend, and engraver with good artistic instincts and wonderful potential. He graciously shared his reference photo and after some correspondence here is my redrawing and explanation. Rarely should lines in nature be drawn/engraved as a smooth curve or swoop. This is...
