Fleur de lys from my ornamental design & shading class

[Sam]

Monday's exercise. It's not exactly a fleur de lys, but that's what we've been calling it.

 

[Barry Lee Hands]

Beautiful Sam.

 

[Marrinan]

[Willem Parel]

Thanks Sam !!!

Very Beautyfull! my favourite symbol , that is too of my favourite city , Firenze (and of my soccer team hehe)

 

[Doc Mark]

A wonderful study in shading! Thanks Sam. This should hang over my work bench to remind me of what effective shading can do to create 3 dimensionality.

 

[Andrew Biggs]

How about a "Sam De Lys" or "Fleur De Alfano"

Beautiful

Cheers
Andrew

 

[Eugene Carkoski]

what is the physical size of the engraved leaf? and what do you use for shading? looks great

 

[Hora]

Like it a lot. Good study material. The ring is fantastic.

[mitch]

hmmm, the 'skeleton' might make another nice shading exercise...

 

[Mike Cirelli]

Nice fleur de lys. Very precise shading.

 

[Peter E]

Much NICER than a "traditional" Fleur de lis Sam.

The signature is COOL!

 

[g.rohrbaugh]

I agree with Mitch,this would be another nice shading exercise. I would love to try this one as for someone just learning.

[Sam]

Thank you for your kind words everyone

Per your suggestions, I will prepare an outline for a shading exercise as soon as I can.

Aren't those called garnitures?
