I want to show a job with the technique of Scrimshaw. This is really what I do.
It was made in deer antler, with the technique of single points, colored with artist's oil paintings.
Hope you like, Cristian.

Cristian,

I really like this work! You did a beautiful job.
I have a question. Not being too familiar with Scrimshaw techniques, what is single point?

Thanks for sharing the photo and please. And please, more.

Hello Christian,

Very fine work - beautiful expression. How large is this piece - are you using just the tip of an antler?
Again, very wonderful!
Thank you for your sharing,

Here I show you a picture with my finger for size comparison.
Magnus, The antlers in not just the tip, is a slab, I use the antler of a deer native of Argentina, we call axis deer, their antlers are almost solid except for a channel that passes through the center them.
Natasha, I am passionate about the human figure and I strive to capture the nature and its expression.
Mike, thanks so much !!
Thanks for your words
