You are a fantastic artist and leather artisan. I find that so much of the Sheridan patterns seem to have the same flowers and leaves. I know there are all kinds of Sheridan art, but I would like something a little different that has the western style to it. Thank you for sharing your skills and experience. It is much appreciated.
I appreciate that! That’s one thing I have always struggled with. I have never really considered myself an artist. I have put in a lot of time trying to learn how to draw and I hope to be able to offer some patterns one day!
One tip I have for people who don’t know how the layout of floral goes is to recreate someone’s work. You can find someone’s floral work on a piece of paper and shade in parts that would be tool or backgrounded. Then once the fundamentals are down the skills transfer to leather but instead of shading in the background you tool the work
I take a big eraser and go over the leather with it lightly first, and regular pencil will work fine. But if i don't use the eraser first the pencil hardly leaves a mark. Lately though I've been using a charcoal pencil set and that works great, and comes off the leather with little effort
The biggest issues I had with regular pencils was them leaving scratches or marks at times. I’ve seen people use regular pencils plenty but I just prefer 8B. I could see that, I might give them a try
What about black leather? What can I use to draw some soft guidelines I need before applying studs? I think pencil is not going to be visible on black...
There are white/silver pens that will show up on finished leather available at most craft stores. I was mainly talking about drawing tooling designs on veg tan leather in this video.

Thank you for the kind words! I hope I can continue to help and hopefully generate new ideas as well!
You are an excellent drawer/artist. I wish I could do it. I almost always use some sort of predrawn pattern.

@@Girtyleatherco Thank you. I'm just worried about a white pencil would leave the leather "stained"
I don’t have much experience with that so I’m honestly not sure how well they work. I’m sorry
I'm drawing on a 7'x2' leather panel. It is dyed leather and it seems to have a coating on it. The pencils write then stop. Any suggestions?
Is it vegetable tanned leather?

I appreciate it!
