I got my glowforge last week and it has been intimidating but I’ve made a few small stuff testing my drawings.
Welcome to the community! I think your drawings are fabulous…as is the coloring on the cut-outs. Looking forward to seeing more things that you make.
Welcome to the forum! These are beautiful pieces to get started with.
Oh, very cute! I really like your quirky designs and the cool colors. More, please!
These are adorable! I especially like the pencil!
Welcome to the forum.
I think the Glowforge is really going to be a great tool for you judging from this start. You are obviously talented.
Welcome! If these are just your tests I can’t wait to see what you make once you start getting into it more! I love those colors by the way. It might just be the lighting but they seem to be really bright and saturated while still being matte. What did you use?
Welcome to the fun house! Thanks for sharing the first steps into your new adventure. A new door has opened for you!
Welcome and congrats on your new Glowforge! Your designs are really cute - I especially like the milk and cookie!!
Welcome
You’re off to a great start. Welcome!
Thank you all very much! This is really exciting.
Thank you! I am using Montana and posca acrylic markers and on the small ones like the whale I am adding a bit of UV resin on top.
I didn’t think about doming with UV resin. That is a great idea.
Now where did I put that blacklight??
Welcome! Your drawings and first pieces are lovely. Looking forward to seeing more of your work
