Default Re: Practice Plate

very nice!

One suggestion; try to see if, on another try ( I would try these suggestions first on another flat plate BTW), you can get your shade lines a bit lighter, and some of your main cuts a bit heavier. The contrast between main cuts and shade lines is important. It will help your work look livelier, and avoid having it look like an etching, or as if it were cut by a machine.

keep up the great work!

take care,

Tom
