Hi JC,
Thanks you so much to show your work in progress again.
I read some of the "hot" threads, your writing style is no problem, you have your special point of view, I learn a lot from those threads as I can read different people's point of view, idea and advise. There is no problem with someone's though is quite different from the majority or different from the others. I think if the post is just "Yes", "Agree" "Good" "Excellent", then it will be rather boaring and everyone may leave......I believe my writing style is far worse
Sorry!
From your this serious of photos, I can notice that you have the structure of the lines far more "tight" and "neat" than your before tutorial, and it make the overall engraving looks very charm. You are going to change your "style" a bit?
I found the leaves standing out strongly in the final photos. I cannot see what make the shadows?! Is that you re-cut the contour of the leaves in a more heavy flare cut or you add shadow lines around it?
Thanks thanks thanks again for showing your excellent works, I am one of the people out there who learn a lot from your posts. Thanks.
Zernike
