HOW DOES IT LOOK?

[Southern28Chick]

I'm working on this wood burning for someone.

I messed up in a few places, notice the burnt dots...I need a new wood burning tool.

Let me know what y'all think.

Edited to remove picture. Just found out it's a Christmas gift. I'm not sure if the person getting it comes on BYC or not. I'll repost when it's finished and I know that the person doesn't come on here.

I have to fix the tail feathers and make his chest come out farther, but I think it's looking good so far.

Good job! I like it! Did you do that by just looking at the picture? I do woodburning too and have trouble with the shading. What kind of woodburner do you use? Have you ever tried to woodburn a gourd? (One of my future projects)
Here's a picture of a carousel horse that I did. I'm no good at drawing free hand, so I transferred my tracing of the original picture with carbon paper onto the wood. I also hung feathers from it.

It looks really great. Will you color it in or leave it natural?

It'll stay natural. He is so colorful that it would be nice to add color but that's not my style.

I do it free handed. My wood burner is a cheap thing I got from a craft store. I need a pro one.

I know a guy who burns on gourds. I may try that too.

I like your horse. It's very lovely.​
