I still feel the best way to learn is to have real examples of a top engravers work. Yes do simplified versions and try to emulate what you observe in the master work. It's the only way to really compare your work to the best that's out there. Photographs don't convey what a 3d object conveys.
This is how my grandfather, father and myself learned many aspects of the jewelry making and engraving trades.
Be your own toughest critic. Compare it to the master work. Find the differences. Try to fix it by doing it over and over till you get it or do it better.
