Hi
Just looking for advice on how I should handle the background spaces between my outer leaves on this design. I've never drawn or engraved anything like this before and got my self a bit stuck.
I want the design to be diamond shape but not have a sharp outlined boarder.
The RED arrows in the photo indicate the areas I'm not sure what I should do with.
The GREEN arrow shows a spot where I tried removing the background with progressive strokes of my 120.
I'm thinking of using the green arrow method to get the background out, but how could I feather the outside to make it look right?
Oh also I have a pretty sweet slip going right across the middle of my watch... we wont talk about how that got there... but I'm planning on doing my best to hide it with shading. Suggestions on hiding that beast would be appreciated as well.
Thanks in advance. :bow:
