Marius Mellebye - EngraverHand Designs and Artwork

[EngraverHand]

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.

Thanks all! @Dani Girl Thank you very much! Some are actual engravings and some not.. I prefer Procreate and the Affinity Suite on iPad.. I have not tried concepts, but whatever work, works

Would you recommend Affinity Suite? I have Procreate but find the limitations on symmetry divisions and text layout really frustrating sometimes.

I can highly recommend the Affinity Suite.. but I do love Procreate too. But the last months I have been drawing more and more in Affinity Photo.. which is the same in a way. It´s pixel/raster based but has a little vector functions if needed. The few times I need Vector I use Affinity Designer.. which also has a decent pixel/raster section for drawing.. so yes, for drawing designs, adding and editing text, editing photos, even better RAW photos if you can.. the apps are really good inho. I also use them on my Mac´s but they are also for Windows if that´s your preference

And I finally got some gold in the Black Lip Pearl.. that was pretty intense, but also super fun. It probably doesn't look like much, but the pearl is so fragile.

Just playing a little with some rough ideas.. possibly maybe, or maybe not.. Anyway, too much time away from the bench lately, so keeping the abstinences more or less levelled..

And a little more advanced one.. Lots of fun with this one.

It actually started as an art nouveau inspired line drawing idea for a pendant, but.. turned into a mix of sculpting, Norwegian rosemaling and.. I definitely got lost somewhere, but had lots of fun with it.

Some have probably seen it over at some Fb groups or my Instagram.. but anyway. I´m getting a little hooked drawing with BIC pens.. My niece was kind enough to gove me one for Christmas. I told her I was wishing eggnog or a green BIC pen..

And I finally parted with this knife, as a Christmas gift to my father I started a few years ago, but I lost it somewhere along the way.. it ended up in a drawer for a long time, until I decided where to let it go and had to rush a little to finish up.. Christmas was coming soon. It was a great lesson though..

It is a vintage Jaguar knife.

Anyway, so I had this great idea of making a quick design and get some cash for a pendant I have unused laying around.. I think I failed pretty bad as it’s not going to be anything quick in this.. so I better start over. Bust still fun drawing it and I might use it another time.

And just a little tip if you are drawing in layers on a tablet. Try leaving your layers till the end. I have this bad habit of making a layer, drawing or correcting something and then join the layers and creating a new layer.. every time you join a pixel layer it slowly gets a little more blurry, so I lost a lot of details in this one without thinking of it before it was too late..

Just some scrolls.. it´ll change, but still alright
