When I need a new idea I just start scribbling not worrying about the finished design it’s about getting the mind working, finding what I like and don’t and getting me closer to a design that will work. If it’s standard work or scroll I draw it on the piece
I took a picture of a sheet of scribbles to show what I meant, none of these were good enough for the finial I came up with that the next day after reviewing these and drew it on the pistol grip cap.
The main reason for showing my roughs is to let some of the newer engravers know drawing is the first part of creating, every time you draw your learning, don’t get down on yourself if it’s not right the first time keep drawing and IT WILL come.
What would be nice is if some of you would work with these designs, rework and clean them up then show us, I might steal your ideas because looking at other peoples approaches to designing is enlightening!
