Hand Engraving - Dot Shading

If you like this, feel free to buy me a coffee :-) : buymeacoffee.c...
This was done in about three hours.. now you can see it in about 3,5 minutes since it´s Friday funday, but I recommend you to see it all.. as it is something in there to get the desired effect. Not only dots and that´s it. It´s not rocket science, but.. :-)
Hope you like and get something out of it.. my scrollwork leaves could have been better, but they where drawn and cutted in a quick way to play with the shading..
It´s inspired by a 1890 -1900 french product catalogue..

Hi Marius, is this dot shading done with the graver running? If so, are you using high pressure, short stroke?

[@engraverhand]

Hi, yes the machine is barely idling with the most low pressure and strokes possible so almost like picking without the machine on.. but the idle helps a tiny bit :-)

Hello sir, u didn’t do any blackings right? How does your cut look like black lines while my cuttings do shiny colors

[@engraverhand]

Hi :-) Correct, no black. It sometimes depends a little on the light and the metal. This is 416 stainless.. You see it’s getting dark while making the dots.. but if I turn it or take it out in a different light, the effect is not as good from every angle. That is how bulino dots often work. Try experimenting with light and white background. :-) Thanks for watching!

Welke graveer handheld do you use, is GRS max?

[@engraverhand]

Hi, here I used a normal Lindsay Classic with foot control. I don’t have any grs but several Lindsay gravers :-)

Hi Marius hope you are fine very interesting way for fine shading, do you use a triangle shape needle or rourned?

[@engraverhand]

Hi there and thanks! :-) I use a triangle.. I feel they get more sharp and holds up better. :-)

[@azarelthecreator7098]

Are you using a fine blunt tip for this?

[@engraverhand]

The tip is a Lindsay carbalt, super sharp.. sharpening with three faces. I feel it keeps up longer that way :-)

[@vyacheslavorlov2804]

can I find out the music artist?

[@engraverhand]

Sure, it’s me.. I composed the music and plays keys and guitar too :-) Very ool you liked it! :-)

[@vyacheslavorlov2804]

Klaus Schultz listened to something similar

[@vyacheslavorlov2804]

I like your melodies, there is something magical in them

[@engraverhand]

Thank you very much! :-) I’m having fun making music for the videos too, and extra cool when someone like the music :-)
