Notebook for my Son

[BearMan]

Hi Everybody,,, & Thanks for all the wonderful comments!!

Matt; if you don't have a petal lifter,,, get one! It makes alot of difference. But to really do it right, you'll need a petal lifter beveler also.

Tammy & Tina,,,, Running your fingers over it, with your eyes closed, feels like High relief wood carving. )

Andy,,, even though it's only 5/6oz leather, as you can see, you can get alot of depth.

Bob,,,Thanks for all the complements! With some suggestions from you, I was able to figure out what step I was missing before,,, Thanks!!

Aaron, Yes, I almost always draw all of my own designs. Just get some books, & pictures of inspiration, several sharp pencils,,, & a Good eraser, take your time,,, & have LOTS of patients. Draw it,,,, & then draw it again, & it will get better each time!
