Is there any free designs that Shark owners can use on projects for engraving such as butterflies, animals, sports etc.

Bmiestervs:

I'm assuming you are using Vectric Software (VCarve Pro or Aspire) I just upgraded from VCP 7.5 to VCP 8. With the upgrade there is a whole series (over 300) of "freebees" including Clip art & 3D models some of these are animals. I have already used several of these for projects.

I was able to get the upgraded software with no charge. If you are using there software you can check with Vectric to see if your are eligible for free or discounted upgrade. I found the upgrade easy to install without affecting the original version. Also found that the transition to the new version was simple.

Hope this helps!

If your looking for clipart go to google and type in what your looking for, example butterfly line drawing or butterfly coloring pages. Thats how I get my clipart for a lot of my carvings.

I'm with Tony on this. I always Google line art after entering what your looking for. Just about any drawing can be used. If you need to clean it up a bit, I use GIMP. It's free, very powerful, and pretty easy to use. I also have a program on my iPhone that turns a regular photo into line art, called photosketch, and SketchFree. These two really work well, but usually needs cleaning up a bit.
