Probably not suits everyone, but I like experimenting.. sometimes it gives me new ideas View attachment 51709

Would make a nice brooch!

And a quick little symmetrical sketch in AD before crashing..

Awesome! How quick a sketch is it, looks pretty complicated?

I didn´t take the time but maybe 30 - 40 minutes.. at least less than an hour But the program has the symmetric function so I only have to draw each element one time.. I have not been drawing all of them.. the more tricky part is to make it flow and fit nicely to each other. I have been using everyting from 4 to 16 symmetrical "copies"

Here is a screenshot of the program with 16 copies.. and I was drawing the leaf only one time.. So it often looks more impressive than it actually is

The Universal 116 graver is the only graver I use for all my gun engraving with 50 degree face. J.J.

Whatever it takes to get the job done! Great work!

Same with me Now I dont engrave much or actually any firearms, but the 116 with either 45 or around 55 is what I use for mostly everything.. Obviously flat and a few others, but for outline and shading, 116 it is

And spending some time trying to learn stone setting : YouTube

BenchJewel - Diamond Setting (and new soundtrack)

So this is what’s taking my time these days.. trying to learn setting diamonds. Obviously starting with fake diamonds. I have been taking an online class fro...

youtube.com

 

[JJ Roberts]

Marius, After seeing your fine designs and engraving you should have no problem diamond setting. J.J.

I´m trying.. trying and failing, and trying more and get first hand experience. I have taken a good online class for castle setting, but I was probably challenging myself and the technique.. but the good ting I´m learning even more and having great fun! I will finish it somehow and know what not to do next time..

Also this ring is really hard and gummy stainless steel. so I´m not making it easy for myself.

For now it´s only for learning, but I have some plans for it in the future. Thank you for the trust

Finally got the stones in. Stainless steel and a little too big stones.. Very challenging, but fun!

And some Mother of Pearl inlay in Stainless Steel..

I´ve had this knife laying around for a long time not knowing what to do with it because I really can´t stand all the holes in it.. but in the end I decided to get rid of them

Hello Marius,

I absolutely adore the drawings you post. Technical question: Are they done with AD at iPad, or at Mac? I’m looking for a replacement for Linearity Curve at my iPad, since they jacked up the prices.

Cheers

Thank you very much @rweigel Some are done with Affinity Designer, some in Affinity Photo on iPad and some with Procreate on iPad.

I mostly use AD for vector work, and hand drawing in AP and Procreate with the Apple Pencil on the iPad. I do have AD and AP on my Mac too.. with some big design jobs it´s just easier to do some actions on the computer with a bigger screen.. but I really do love the iPad AP is also a great app for editing colors and such for photos. Both the Affinity suite and Procreate is totally. worth it.. at least for me Hope that answered your question..

Thank you very much! Yea feels great to get rid of the holes.. I´ll get the ones in the back away too..

 

[EngraverHand]

Some more pearl inlay.. no more ugly holes, just black lip pearl bolsters.

 

[gcmeleak]

Nice

 

[IOAN]

Wonderful!

You sure fancied that up a bit. Can not wait to see the engraving I'll wager is coming.

Someone was asking about drawing programs... I'm using concepts on my phone and finding it decent. Your artworks are incredible, at first I hadn't realized they were not actual engraved pieces.
