Basically what it says on the tin. I like doing leather carving, and I would like to use my own designs. However, whenever I try to (for example) a Sheridan pattern, it never seems to turn out right. Therefore, I'd like to get a good book on how to draw the designs used in various leather carving styles.

For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Check on Joe Melings website, he does a course on designing & drawing carving patterns. I think Don Gonzales does as well.

The Leather Crafters and Saddlers Journal online store has a number of books on Sheridan style carving.  I liked reading this one https://leathercraftersjournal.com/product/sheridan-style-floral-drawing-gabor-pinter/.
