Wauw Kat,
Another beuty!
For the shading you might want to lift the graver a bit more towards the end although it might be the picture that doesnt do the piece justice.
Keep the lines flowing

Try a bit longer heel for the silver. It wont dive as much.

Thank you all for the much needed advice and encoragement... I will be taking a vacation for a week and when I get back to the shop be diving into this series even more... so longer heel helps with silver? I will definately give it a shot. and I am taking my pen and paper with me to do lots of practise drawing along the way
