Description
I wanted to try out a more elongated shape with this one. A challenging aspect of leather carving & tooling, especially when you get to more human/animal subjects, is instilling the nuance of structural roundness. On canvas you can use a variety of illustrative techniques to trick the eye into perceiving the illusion of depth. The strike of the hammer however presents a broader and generally irrevocable manipulation of the medium. That you're actually instilling depth to the piece grants tooled leatherwork a dimensionality most paintings lack. When you get down to it though even a 10-oz leather yields only so much contour without underlying plugs or embossing, and cut edges have a sharpness that defies the actuality of most natural subjects.
Still, tentacle practice is fun!
