How to tool leather.
If you'd like to see more of my work I have a lot of pictures and albums on my Facebook page. / leatherworkerupholsterer
A comprehensive method to realistic representations on leather. I don't teach you how to tool just one image, I give you a complete understanding on how to approach/tool any art to realistically represent it three-dimensionally in leather. This understanding also comes in handy when embossing or using other art mediums.
We start the introductory section with some quick swivel knife techniques. We then do some simple perspective style boxes and work our way up in a systematic approach to the more complex.
We take each new thing we learn and use that to move forward. Learning how to properly render perspective style images gives us the opportunity to add more dimensions to our tooling abilities. Adapting this perspective style tooling to pictorial, and figure carving, helps us grasp the proper way to render images in a more realistic dimensional representation.

I love the tree roots in the space ship picture and the picture of the goblins(?) - the subtlety of shading you get with a spoon is fantastic.
Thank you Patricia!
You sir, are now officially my new teacher.
I shall watch this video on repeat for a minimum of 3 months.

HAHAHA, awesome! Thanks Matts. This video is just a taste of what the full set has.
@@TonyAllenBernier 2 months later.. I stumbled upon your Etsy page by accident, and ended up purchasing the "Pondering Possibilities" pattern set, without realizing the owner of the shop or the patterns!
Liquid Multiverse is an amazing and such an interesting piece of leather artwork. Thanks so much for including it in the pattern pack!
@@Handles-R-Lame Awsome! Thanks a bunch!
Will never acquire your graphic arts gift, but there's amazement just watching your light and shadow expressions. New subscriber.
Thanks Ronald, I appreciate it!
You just explained what I found out by luck and I guess my old art class from high school. What you described was how I did this with a horse! So crazy. I picked up a lot from this video as a new to leather working guy. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching, I'm glad I could be of help!

Ordered a new swivel knife blade today, I can't wait for everything to arrive and get started!
Where has this been?!😂
Hahaha, Hiding!
I'm trying to get into figure carving a bit more, but my leather never seems as 'moldable' as yours (particularly around the 8-9 minute mark). It always seems to be much stiffer, definitely not clay-like similar to yours.
Moisture content doesn't seem to change anything. Suggestions?
Hi, Some questions that will help. What thickness leather are you using? Does it have a nice leather smell? (some veg tan is made with things that make it smell and give it a waxy feel, it wont case very well) How do you case your leather before you tool it, and how do you add moisture while you're working on it?
@@TonyAllenBernier Thanks for the reply. I generally work on 3-5 oz. It cases pretty well, I usually just use a washcloth to wet it and let it sit before beginning. I will add moisture as needed.
What tannage leather do you generally use for this type of work? I see Herman Oak mentioned a lot.
@@Noster920 I use whatever veg tan I have. If I use something on the thinner side I'll back it with something like printers foam. Then peal it off afterwards. It's a thin sheet that will take an impression. That gives me more depth to work with. I suggest using a fine mist bottle to add moisture while your working a piece. That way the water doesn't pool up in the depressions when you wipe over it. Many of my videos I'm tooling in will show my methods.
