Ron,
line engraving needs a lot of practice and a good knowledge of the drawing.
I forgot to mention that I prepared a course synopsis for my class at the Grand Masters' Program. I would like to find the time to complete it for a publication, maybe next year (or the year after). I hope that it can help, because precise information on the line engraving method is hard to find and there is, as far as I know,no school to teach that technique. (Or maybe in Paris?)
