Old man Woodblock Print

In case anyone wonders what I've been up to at school lately. . .


Last week I made my very first woodblock prints!
The first image is the ink sketch that I based my print on, though personally I'm happier with my drawing abilities than my wood-carvings skills. It was incredibly tedious but oddly rewarding (It didn't help that my wood block was flawed - a fact that was pointed out after I had finished carving) and I would be very willing to try it again on my own time. Next up is colour prints on linoleum, so I'm super psyched about next class!
Erm - and, I scanned the test run print crookedly. Please ignore the paper dings as well. It wasn't a good copy!
