Popular Post munzieb Posted March 14, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 I have been doing landscape plaques and decided to give Mt. Rushmore a shot. I was amazed at how many views and angles there are of this monument. I tried to find one with as little shadow as possible but never did find one where I could clearly see Roosevelt's eyes. I was able to get something on the left eye but but the right was a whole other story. Stuck with the shadow. Plaque is 14.5 x 12" 1/8" BBPW on a quarter inch backer, Finish is shellac with gloss shellac. Font is Umbria. My rendering only took a few days, not 14 years like the original! new2woodwrk, FrankEV, New Guy and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Looks great! But don't worry about leaving in shadows. Shadows can add depth to the pattern and finished work. Maybe try one with shadows to compare them. munzieb, Jim Blume and RabidAlien 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie E Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 Great job! I'm also a fan of properly placed shadows though I'm not too good at placing them yet. It leaves something to the imagination. Before Mt. Rushmore was carved it was un"Presidented." munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
