mulefool Report post Posted April 29, 2009 Well, if you are looking for a critique I guess the thing that kind of jumps out at me is the flow of the lines. The front of the skirt is very square but the back is rounded. This kind of thing is certainly personal preference but for my taste I would like to see either square or rounded but not a combination. I would also like to see the line of the back jockey compliment the line of the skirt. it may look more jarring because the jockey, seat and fenders have a border, but the skirts don't and they are also a different color so it just kind of jumps out. If you just finished the saddle it may be that the oil just hasn't evened out on the skirts, though. Thanks for posting your pic. Once I figure out the computer thing I would like some critiques, too. There are alot of people with good suggestions on here. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ccpowell Report post Posted April 30, 2009 Thank you very much for the critique- that is exactly what I am looking for. The skirt pattern and tooling aren't my preference- the guy I made it for wanted it that way. He was also adding more oil because he wanted it darker- I refused to do final coloring and oiling for him because I know how hard headed he is, and knew it wouldn't turn out like he wanted no matter what, so I left that in his court. I personally prefer rounded skirts front and back. Thank you for the feedback- I will try and post some others for additional critique as well. I figure that the more experienced feedback I get, the more I will learn and the faster I will get better, Chuck Well, if you are looking for a critique I guess the thing that kind of jumps out at me is the flow of the lines.
