Curious if anyone has a link or some .pdf or other files with practice images they'd be willing to share. TIA
Repository or files with practice art/monograms, scrolls etc.?

If you search in this forum you probably find som "practice" files. Remember that Sam A, Phil C and others have posted files for practice.
for monograms grab a couple of cheap books off ebay or Amazon.

archive.org is a good source for (mainly old) books on the Acanthus, engraving, monograms and stuff
look up “on-line engraving resources” with Google
Leather patterns and ornamental wood carvings are good sources as well
antiques (engraved boxes, jewlery…) and gun cataloges?
Sam’s engraving videos come with practise patterns.
Drawing or vectorizing a pattern from a picture is already half the fun.

In the U. S. we are fortunate enough to have the Dover Publications, Inc books.
Many art books at $4- $10 price range.
They have "Monograms and Decorations" , ISBN-0-486-24347-8, $9.95 when I bought my copy years ago.
Do an Internet search for their name and maybe a catalog.

the albert winters book on jewelry engraving is also a good source. it shows easy ways to create v ery unique monograms.
