Raven

This is the process in how I create a bird print. I pick a bird I've seen, in this case the common raven and my most simple print to date, and I sketch it.

I scan the sketch and use it as a template in which I trace it in Illustrator to refine and edit the shapes. I play with the color and decide how many layers of color I want to carve.

Next, I flip the image and print out the Illustrator version and use it to transfer the image onto the block.

I carve away.

Then, I mix the paint and test the colors on paper.

I roll the color down and burnish. I let it dry between layers and hope that when it's all done, it comes out decent.

This one was easier - only 2 layers and 2 colors.

Old Sketch, New Post

I've been lazy with drawing, but I'm doing other(hopefully productive)stuff....like cleaning. I found an old pen sketch I did while in Taipei.
