An excellent tutorial, I find it so interesting how other Pyrographers attack their burning. No matter how many times I burn fur or hair including beard's I find it a challenge. Thank you for sharing such an important video's for Pyrographers across the board. Take care👍😷👍

Very useful tips n tricks. I am New to burning May I know which wood base is the best for beginners? I tried one on MDF

[@wendyshoults7355]

You do amazing work! Thank you for sharing your talents with us. Which tip are you using on Clyde?

[@BURNTbyHollyPyrography]

RT - LE 3/32 Spear tip. You will notice however, it is bent. I have bent it myself a small adjustment that I made to compliment my own comfort.

Great video Holly. To make the difference between wet and not wet areas of the bear, is it done by not burning water droplets and keep that wood zone natural not burned?

[@BURNTbyHollyPyrography]

Exactly! Water droplets are a fun project all in their own! So "natural wood" is the brightest areas in your project. Second only to a highlight of a secondary white media if thats a chosen method. (Pastel, pencil crayon etc ) your spectrum then darkens from that point!

[@BURNTbyHollyPyrography]

I am also very grateful for participation and viewing my channel. Thank you very much!

[@ritahanigan7896]

Great Video!! Would there be any advantage to converting the reference pictures to black & white?

[@BURNTbyHollyPyrography]

Absolutely, in my video laying out your burning, I cover just that, as well as about sepia and other layout tips which can share some insight on making laying out patterns easier for you. :) thank you so much for watching! I appreciate your subscription!
