    Question: Optivisor v "Dental" Loupes

    Hello Jeremy, Many years ago I used surgical loupes, Neitz Binocular brand. Thought I would "move up" from my Optivisors and have more freedom from my scopes. Trouble I found was keeping my head steady enough and the loupes focused while engraving. I would advise a trial before you invest in...

    Jeremy, well done on a tough exercise. Good work. Couple of thing that might help. Nit picking only. Bottom lines have problems and are not parallel with the bottom of the plate or border. No easy fix for this one if staying with your original premise. The second picture shows some shading line...

    NASA Psyche Inspired Artwork

    Brant, thank you for your insightful and well deserved praise of Monica's artwork. She designed and created it entirely in her own workshop and I was as overwhelmed and amazed as you when I first saw it. As you said.....she hit it out of the park. Thanks you for your kind words.

    Critique Request scroll work attempt sketch

    Critique Request scroll work attempt sketch
