Default My first hack at Scrimshaw

After a 3 day work shop with Richi Maier a WONDERFUL engraver and scrimhander this is what I have come up with. Any critiques are welcome. I still have to adjust under his horn and the corner of his eye so he doesnt look like he is crying..

Looks very good The only thing I could say is maybe the deepest blacks could be a bit blacker but that could just be the photo. Keep up the good work!

There seems to be a light streak down the right side of the eye too. It sure is a very good scrimshaw though. Well done.

That is very nice work Sarah. You are a very talented engraver and artist young lady. Are you going to be in the States this summer? Hope you can make the Engrave-In at Scott's this year. Would like to spend time with you this summer. How is school going this season. Fred

thank you guys for all of your input! School is going well I am getting very good grades and barely have anytime to myself anymore. I am working on a damascus knife with mammoth ivory handles, I am hoping to have it done for IWA in a few weeks. Unfortunatly fred I will not be in the US this summer, I have to complete an Internship up in germany in order to graduate next year. I will put up pictures to keep you all posted with progress (hopefully!)

Incredible work... The realism is excellent. If this is one of your first... I'd love to see more work when you gain even more experience.

That looks great! Even the touch of it like crying, I think it gives some sort of atmosphere, maybe you should leave it like that.
I am quite jealous about your workshop with him :-)!
Looking forward to see the next piece!
But don't work tooo much neither:-)
Best,
Hanne
