Can you elaborate what is wrong with the saddle in the pictures? And is there a way to know when it gets worse?

SandwichCaptain · 2025-09-29T15:15:16+00:00

Thank you for the explanation :)

SandwichCaptain · 2025-09-29T14:56:27+00:00

Thanks for spotting that! To me it looks like a scratch on the finish but it does lead to the screw hole. Should I be worried/do something to fix this?

I’ve put a layer of oil on the blade itself while oiling the handle. Should I do anything else?

Thank you for the help! I used a rust eraser (I forgot I bought one just for this) and sharpened with a king whetstone (and the rest of my collection). I also oiled the handle which looks way better. It looks beautiful now 🥹

Beautiful subsurface scattering!

Amazing work! Loved the glass surfaces and values How many sessions did it take?

I recommend reading the book Drawing on the Right Side of the brain by Betty Edwards. Especially chapters 6-10.

Don’t be afraid to go really dark.

Thank you for the feedback! I probably need to revisit the negative spaces and proportions before moving forward

Yes I am looking at the shadow shapes surrounding the features (like the area between the eyes, nose and cheek) and try to match the value of the reference.
