Following the feedback I received at my tutorial, I carved out a few more lino blocks. I was only able to carve out 5-6 more however, as Lino is quite expensive but also time consuming. Had I made the switch to working with it earlier on in the process, I could have carved more, but all things considered, I am happy with the amount of blocks I was able to carve in the end.
This time, instead of only making blocks of my characters, I also wanted to have elements of the motifs that represented them, the most challenging one to execute being my character Thanatos’s jellyfish motif.
I found carving this block to be a challenge. I had only done one other block as detailed as this beforehand, so i did end up losing some of the finer details while carving. However, I am still happy with the results, as I feel that the imperfections add a really interesting texture to the final result.
