Working on shading with a Bulino graver with no heel to practice the wide leaves and folds.
The length of the knife closed is 6 cm.

You're really pretty good at this, Arnaud. Thanks for showing us your latest.

Hi Arno,

The knife looks very nice but I would like to suggest something on the shading.

Whilst the well placed lines help to achieve a 3D effect, the bad placed ones tend to flatten the design. I would try to leave the high lighted areas more clear.
Also, in the folded leafs, I would continue the border of the folded part to the border of the leaf.
I've edited your picture trying to show you what I am talking about.

Kind regards my friend!

I get the point Leonardo, yes you might be right.
I will try that on my next
