If you seek advise then close-ups of your work would be nice.

Thanks, when making a horse I use a Headband Magnifer, so the resolution is better. Previous scrims I made without any enlargement.

Here is the close up.



Now, I know, I must work to obtain sharp edges. Eye, bridle, etc.

Next will be better

Smaller dots and more dots, that's the tip I can give you

Well done, scrimshaw is a fun art.

Nomad,

Here is a link To Katherine Plumer's tutorial on scrimshaw. Katherine is one of the world's best scrimshanders. In the tutorial, she is working on mommoth ivory but the same would apply to antler work.

As You wish



Today I finish my first colour scrimshaw. On beginning I have few troubles with colour-mixing inside the dots, but now I understand how to add colour without mixing

size: 3,5 cm x 3,5 cm

Tomorrow I attempt to make better photos in daylight and with makro.
