Hello engravers,
Any consideration is always welcome. I thought about keeping the same leaves to consolidate the fundamentals.
Thanks. image.jpg

I like it a lot except for the leaves not touching the inner scroll and the area that Sam correctly calls " a leak area" at the starting scroll.
No good way to define the background area of the inner scroll, see Sams recent scroll mistakes thread.
You have some nice elements going with a few minor changes needed.

Hello Mr. Jonny. B.
Thank you for your attention. An excellent help from a great master. I did not let the leaves touch the inside lines because at the time of cutting I find it easier to visualize the lines. I'll cut it by following the outside edge.
For this I also take into account the reduction of the drawing scale. Excellent approach to the leak area.
Thanks for all.

Thank you Marcelo,
One other problem you might consider. The second scroll is bigger than the originating scroll and this is not good practice.
It is evident by the size and number of inner leaves and buds.
Your scrolls look good and clean and not overly complicated and with attention to these few areas they are winners.
Look forward to seeing more from you.

I am not trying to be derogatory, but I see an animal in the scroll, actually 2, Rotating it quarter turn to the left so that it vertical, I see a scroll that looks like a whimsical pig, something designed to make you smile. It is the same if you rotate it to the right. It is serious but also almost cartoonish, I like it.

The words of the most experienced are always welcome. thank you so much. Hiding any figure is a good resource but it was not the intention. For a cartoonist the imaginative mind is a requirement of art.

This is very neatly drawn and I applaud your efforts. John B gave you very solid critique and I have nothing to add other than you are on the right path. Well done!

Sam,
I thank you for the kind words and the whole contribution to the arts.
I think if you edited a book it would be great.
Thanks for all.
