Still experimenting with the different wire tips. Constructive feedback is welcome :)

This went a lot better than I thought it would. Originally I was going to just be doing the dog in the middle, but I decided to add the bearded dragon on top of the dog because I realized I drew too small so the board looked blank. Then I decided to do the second bearded dragon because I'm making this for a friend whose dog this is and also has two bearded dragons, so I thought it'd only be fair to add both. I actually really like how this turned out, but there's definitely a lot I wish I did differently so I thought I'd post it to hopefully get some constructive criticism

Did these keychains for my girlfriend’s birthday, but I’m a little unhappy with how splotchy the solid areas turned out. How can I do better next time?

I'm making this for a friend but when I left the room a couple kids came in and drew all over it. I tried erasing it but a couple spots are still very noticeable especially where they dug the pencil into the wood. I don't have paint but even if I did I don't think I could cover up the texture from the indentation left behind. Is there a design or something I could burn over it that wouldn't take away from the main design? Any advice is very much appreciated, I'm still pretty new to woodburning. Please help!
