Wow!Beautiful. Thanks again for the great tutorial.
I'm having a Modelo Negro on draft.It really is! And, Shreddies was my earlier Luminous Biscuits bowl on steroids. Hey, if you’re not pushing yourself and learning (sometimes from mistakes haha), what are you even doing?![]()
Solid alternative!I'm having a Modelo Negro on draft.
Good idea shading with pencil. Really helps identifying where to carveManaged to do a little bit of bowl work last night. I started to carve some of the rectangles, and then got paranoid about messing up. So, I took a step back and used a pencil to (roughly) shade in the areas that I need to focus on first. Originally, I was going to begin with carving chisels/gouges, but I think I will start the relief carving with a rotary tool. Then I’ll use hand tools to refine everything. Then I’ll finish with files and sandpaper to smooth the curves.

How many coats of paint did you end up putting on?
The last bit of pyography you did was to burn the sides of the rectangles (post 93). The result was great, but why did you go back and use the razor tip there instead of just using India ink (which you did use later)?
