Use of Engraving in my artwork

Engraving in my artwork essentially Involves using an electric dermal tool on rough or solid materials, like metal, glass, wood and acrylic plastic.

When carrying out the engraving procedure, I use sharpie markers for outlining my designs, then engrave on the outlines.
