immiketoo Report post Posted October 4, 2018 The best advice I can give you is to start at the top and tool the parts closest to the surface of the leather first and work your way down doing the background last. So, foreground to background. Then, with many vehicles, there are a lot of straight lines. Careful tracing or transfer to the leather is essential. You can print your image onto vellum and transfer it to the leather before it dries, but that has as many issues as traditional transfer, just different. Best to queue up some practice pieces with an image you like. Remember a lot of detail is hard to do, so a stylized image or simplified one might be best. This one is free.
