With a toy plastic shark as my model, I used my smallest loop tool and had a bit of fun carving\/drawing through the layers.<\/p>\n

I originally tried some shallow cross hatching with another tool (the larger black areas) but it ended up looking muddy and hesitant so I carved them away. The best marks seemed to be quick, decisive and free flowing.<\/p>\n
