Fellow engraver out there!! This is my first bigger flare cut project that I’ve done. I am looking for any advice on leaf structures, is there flaws in the cuts, what do you like, what do you dislike?! Tear this design apart but build it back up with the knowledge to do it better next time!
I created the design in procreate. You can see the original pencil drawing I did and then I went in with an oil brush over the flare cuts so they were easier to transfer and easy to see under the microscope. The transfer was great and super easy to see. For a transfer method I did printer paper and acetone with a little bit of heat before I put the acetone one the paper. For engraving I used a c-max round 120 degree graver on a PulseGraver machine.
