Relief engraving tools and tips

[Miketaylor]

Can I get recommended gravers to use for deep relief work? Also tips and patterns to follow?

just guessing here: you'd likely be better off starting with just surface work without a lot of attempt at relief. one must crawl a bit before trying to run a marathon. you will have to become adept at using the basic gravers before attempting to do sculpting and shaping. there's videos on such as you seek. just start using the search bar. best of luck to you.

You can probably get all your questions answered, including some you don't yet know that you have, in Sam Alfano's DVD on heavy sculpting.
