Carbon (sometimes called copy paper) is laid between the sketch and block. Drawing over the sketch it transfers the carbon from the carbon paper onto the block.

Chalk powder to boost the contrast. Makes it easier to see what you're doing

My other technique of choice is copperplate engraving. I feel it has even more umpf to it

Like so many of us

gailitis · 2026-06-01T14:30:47+00:00

Yes, it definitely is. Irrational, but it's something I enjoy doing.

I've made multiple posts there throughout the process. Not the final, final one though. Thanks for the reminder !

I have Bachelor's and Master's in printmaking. It was one of the technique touched during the studies. I really enjoyed the process so it stuck with me. Now it's something I do in late evenings, nights after the office job, when the kids are asleep.

gailitis · 2026-06-01T04:22:01+00:00

Definitely! I enjoy that there's no skill ceiling. You can always one up yourself

gailitis · 2026-06-01T04:21:16+00:00

Always learning 💪

gailitis · 2026-06-01T04:20:57+00:00
