Last in a series of four engraved angel plaques....

Great detail & skills you got there HD!

I was wondering what tools you use to create this?

I draw them on a wooden plaque then use a Dremel tool with different size bits to take out background then finely detail. Of course, staining is the last (easiest) step.

HD...I need to google “dremel ” & learn more about what tools I need.

My one & only attempt was about 20 years ago.
I found an old brick that was a block from the actual place.

I used an old swiss knife & it was ok on the large parts that I cut out,
but the small details I just couldn’t do it .
I didn’t prepare a drawing to go by...I just cut away until it looked like what I
wanted it to look like.

Take a guess of what it is I was trying to create!

Do you “Remember” ? ha-ha-ha!

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Absolutely...
Good work

Thanks HD... an encouraging word , never gets old!

When in my high school years, many,many moons ago.
Took an art class.
The assignment : draw the body in motion.

I was a skinny kid & I had sent 10¢ for my copy of Charles Atlas &
his "Dynamic Tension” body-building course.
In just 3 months I could go on the beach & kick sand on the big bully.

Anyway I did get to know the different muscles & how they related
to each other.

So I did a drawing of several basketball players, all reaching out
with outstretched arms towards the basketball. It was in pencil .

******* The art teacher told me, “ that’s splendid young man,
but next time don’t copy from a magazine, be creative on
your own."

There was no way he would believe that I didn’t copy the drawing.
I was sad,
but then, I looked at it as a compliment....sort of. ********


And I never developed that muscular body or kicked sand.

There was no beaches where I lived anyway.

I'd sure take that as a compliment..!! I found early on that most artists are sensitive (like me) but must develop a thick skin to always continue to progress. There are always critics who may tend to overlook talent or the hard work involved. Art is a process of copying....scenes...people...any object. Everyone has their own style of doing it...but.. that's what they are doing, AND not everyone is successful at it...!!

Here is some illustration and design work I just finished for a new album/CD by a friend's primitive blues band. The work is based off a famous photo of blues pioneer Robert Johnson.
