RidgebackCustoms Report post Posted September 26 Been on a guitar strap kick recently. Some of these designs have been kicking around my head for a couple years. Finally decided to sit down and get them knocked out. Each one was done to practice a particular thing I needed more reps with. As always, criticism is appreciated and more valuable than compliments for continuing to improve. Thank you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cattleman Report post Posted September 26 Those are all amazing! The hands are nearly perfect... The only critique id give them is to make the crease between the thumb and fingers slightly less defined, kinda look like chicken drumsticks. Aside from that, finominal work.

Gezzer Report post Posted September 27 I have no critiques but I do have a question . Are the tops stitched down or just across the pic pockets ? Are they even pic pockets ? Work looks good to me . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I definitely want to try this design again to continue practicing hands. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So there’s an opening at the top to put a pick but it’s a complete border just looking at it. There’s also a little tab on the inside of the pocket to keep the pick from popping out. I’ll post a pic soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
