eBook: Ornamental Archive

So happy to have this beautiful designs excited to start to used and creative sketch

Been following Russ Work for years now and have even been fortunate enough to wear a couple of his tattoos. Super glad he put all the filigree in one spot, so now I don’t have to take off my shoes and look at my feet(location of tattoos Russ did for me) any time I need a good illustrative filigree reference. All the stuff I bought from tattoo smart has been super helpful keep them comming!

Perfecto para tomar referencias ornamentales, tanto para realismo como newschool!

An awesome reference for filigree just as I expected it would be.

The shop I apprenticed at had an original copy of Ornamental Archive that I enjoyed studying. Three years later I found myself struggling on a sleeve design with several incohesive elements, needing to add cohesion and flow. After considering several options, Russ Abbott's book popped into my head, and I immediately knew that was the way I was going to achieve the results I desired. I bought the e-book, printed out a few key pages for reference, and it all fell in place, giving me the unified, flowing result I was looking for. Thanks Russ, it would have taken hours of searching, and I still would not have found the sort of quality ornamental drawings in this book.
