Stetson912 Report post Posted December 16, 2020 This is a leather rendition of the only portrait of my grandparents that I have. I hope I've done them justice with my first leather portrait. I used a swivel knife and some modeling spoons for this and some bevelers and things for the background.once it dries ill try some color, maybe a sepia type look. Still unsure about color. Always open to critique. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris623 Report post Posted December 16, 2020 What's to critique????? I think you did a beautiful job. I could only hope to be able to do that some day. Still working my way through Al Stohlman's Figure Carving Finesse. He says to read the entire thing before putting tool to the leather. It's going to take some time to do that.

Stetson912 Report post Posted December 16, 2020 It is a very detailed book for sure. I used modeling tools and he demonstrates stamps. I have the stamps I just found the spoon easier. I am going to try more his method on some others in the future to see which method I prefer. Thanks for the kind words Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
