Here is my first attempt at Bulino . My biggest worry was getting the eyes and mouths right. I started from right to left and the quality shows it. The girl on the right was looking up and biting her lip. I'm please with the girl on the right exept the shading around her nose and , just look what I did to the poor girls ear ! I'm pretty happy with the girl on the left.
I had a hard time getting a good photo of the work. The camera kept reflecting in the pic. The photo of the plate and the photo of the photo is off so critique gently please . The engraving really looks better in person.
I thought after I was done if I had used different bits other than just a needle point such as a round ball end or flat or chisel to shade with. What do you think ? any tips on the engraving or taking photo's of my work please.
Thanks , Mark
