Get App On leatherhard smooth clay, begin by drawing a design. I press just enough for a shallow indent. 1 @rootandrocks on

Get App I draw the interior/exterior lines so that I know exactly where to carve later in the process. 2 @rootandrocks on

Get App Using a loop tool I begin to slowly carve into the interior shape. I only take a small amount away. 3 @rootandrocks on

Get App The indented areas become more dynamic. You can get more depth by carving more. But go slowly! 4 @rootandrocks on

Get App I can create the illusion of depth and layers by carving the edges of one area back further. 5 @rootandrocks on

Get App Having good lighting helps you to see how deep to carve. This is a shallow carving, or low relief. 6 @rootandrocks on

Get App You can define the design by carving deeper lines with the loop tool. 7 @rootandrocks on

Get App Experiment with the angles that you carve, as subtle changes will alter the way the light falls. 8 @rootandrocks on

Get App Create more layers and depth by carving back a section, so that the design stands out more. 9 @rootandrocks on

Get App You can add more drawing to this area and it will already be set back for you. 10 @rootandrocks on

Get App Continuously switching between carving away, and drawing lines helps to create a cohesive piece. 11 @rootandrocks on

Get App I use a loop to and a flat chisel like tool (find whatever works best for you) to create detail. 12 @rootandrocks on

Get App After I create the overall relief, I go back in to work on redefining lines and creating depth. 13 @rootandrocks on

Get App From shallow line drawing, to deeper carving, you can create beautiful pieces by creating reliefs. 14 @rootandrocks on
