Critique Request Eng. small scroll & friends...

[Cloudy]

Having participated in Marcus Hunt's fantastic GRS class in English fine scroll, I knew a LOT of practice was going to be necessesary! This is my attempt at doing a project by myself, working to incorporate what I'd learned (at least some of it, anyway). Aside from line overruns, critiques and suggestions are welcome!

Well done Cloudy

You are going great guns!!! Your practice and determination are showing. Good on you for investing in yourself with a class.

cheers

Cloudy, that's great! Definitely showing quantum leaps forward.

Cloudy, that looks great! Marcus ran a good class so much to learn and only five days to try to cram it all in. You got a good deal out of the time you spent.

Hi Cloudy, your cutting looks like it's done with confidence and is vastly improved. Well done. My main critique would be - watch your direction of growth. Remember, scrolls grow in one direction first and then alternate? Here you have several scrolls growing in the same direction as the one they're growing from. This is a "No, no" so if in doubt have a look at your tips sheet and your 'rules of scrollwork'. That being said, do finish this with any cutting away and shading that needs to be done.

Overall it looks like you've come on leaps and bounds since the class. Well done, glad you enjoyed the class and keep practicing!

Thanks, Guys! Gets really interesting when you have to remember everything you learned all at once, by yourself ;-)
I have the other side with Damar varnish and chalk- just waiting for time to sit down and do "something else"- and I won't forget the shading, Marcus!

Hi Cloudy

Is that a knife or a cut throat razor? It has a curiouse shape to the blades.

Cheers
Andrew

Andrew- it was billed as a knife, had blank sides and was very cheap- and yes, it does look strange!
Marcus- those 2 drawing sessions were of great help!!!!
