The engraving proceeds, using a medium size spitsticker (elliptical tint tool) which has curved sides and makes single lines. The lines are reworked to even them up, and to smooth them out. With just several tools, the most detailed composition can be accomplished. These would be three medium sized spitstickers and two scorpers (gravers-one round and one square) for clearing large areas.
