ABHandmade Posted May 7, 2019 Report Posted May 7, 2019 Picture of a tiger walking in the water. Size: 30 x 21 cm Material: vegetable tanned leather Technique: carving, modeling, embossing. Coloring: spirit dyes, acrylic paints. Finishing: polyurethane varnish (matte and glossy). The main focus of this work is on the realistic representation of the animal's fur (dry and wet), whiskers and hair. The body's volume and depth of the carving and embossing, although present, are not the main goal and serve only as a tool to make the image more believable. The use of partial varnishing, as well as a combination of glossy and matte varnish, are intended to emphasize the difference between the dry and wet areas of the image. Quote

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted May 7, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted May 7, 2019 This looks GREAT! Always like your use of color, and here you've grabbed the change in focus from the subject and the (nicely but nor overly done) "background". The hair effects are stunning (as we've come to expect from you) and the eyes are 'spot on'. I'm not big on projects that just look good sitting, and don't "do" something utilitarian. But this is ANOTHER great work - color me impressed. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.

Thank you! “Lazy” water in the background is something that I need to work hard on. Maybe I have to try an airbrush to get smooth color transitions on large areas. 32 minutes ago, Smartee said: Wow!

Members chriscraft Posted May 7, 2019 Members Report Posted May 7, 2019 Very inspirational of what can be done on leather. Great use of shading within the black tiger stripes and fur. Quote
Rockoboy Posted May 8, 2019 Report Posted May 8, 2019 The wet and dry hair, the eyes, the water ... it's all very realistic.

Thanks, Brian! This is my first image water experience. Not everything turned out as I would like Here I took into account the error in the display of a whiskers - heretofore I used to make cuts with a swivel knife and the white paint seep ugly into the surrounding "fur". I decided to try to make them raised (swivel knife, beveler, modeling spoon). The result I liked more Edited May 8, 2019 by ABHandmade Quote
