Everybody can note that Jean-Marie Martens is a young engraver who has much talent and also that it uses an automatic translator because he does not know the English language. When he says that he studied engraving with a cork, that means that he studied in Liege in Belgium: Liege and cork are the same word in French . He studied at the same school as much of Belgian and French engravers
Very nice work indeed! I particularly like your delicate treatment of the lion's fur around the eye and forehead, I can almost feel the sensation of stroking its head....but of course I will not, in real life!
