I really don't know that I need to post these here as I can see most all the mistakes but don't necessarily know how to correct them
This is a copy from a GRS booklet. The first pict I posted in here back in July 07..my very first contact with engraving and tools( probably should have been arrested for posting this)...the second is one I finished yesterday and the third outline I did this morning.
Mistakes I see...
controlling depth of cuts
terrible shading
flat where it should be round
Basically, everything.
But just in case I've missed something or you've got a few hints to help me...I'm all ears.
You would think after 3 years, I'd be much better. My work carries me out of town for weeks/months at a time. I'm only able to engrave when I'm home the few weeks I have between jobs.
Have at it..I want to hear all your suggestions.
