A little more bulino

[williamph]

Some more bulino practice, would like to hear thoughts/opinions/criticisms!
I feel like there's s few areas I could have done a little better, I won't say what I think but let me know what you think
Thanks!
Ringneck pheasant done with 90* graver with a combo of dots and lines, this is maybe 1 inch or so.

P.s. Taking a good picture of bulino might be harder than actually engraving it...

Will,When you did the drawing for the pheasant what did you have to go by? J.J.

 

[williamph]

JJ- i used a photo from the interwebs, the picture was not mine to begin with but was generic enough I could use it for some practice

Will,A good book by Dove you would like on animals,birds & other critters Animals 1419 copyright-free illustrations selected by Jim Harter or get friendly with a taxidermist and draw the animals in 3D. J.J.
