Woodcut Style Practice
For an upcoming project, I am practicing drawing in a medieval woodcut style.
So it begins.
(Modeled on a rose woodcut by Dan Sorensen)
I have to work on my line weights. I’ve been avoiding using my precious superfine tips, but it is time. IT IS TIME.
Or I could just draw bigger.
Either or.
Hi. I am a woodworker and am making a new mailbox post for our house. My wife is a avid gardener and I was searching for a woodcut rose to use as a pattern to carve a rose on the post next to the house number. I stumbled upon yours above. I was wondering if you mind if I copy it and use it to carve from. Thank you.

Thank you for visiting, and thank you for your interest! Alas I am not the originator of the design. Dan Sorenson is. The link appears to be defunct, but you can still contact him through his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/artofsorensen. If he consents, you may use my adaptation under a Creative Commons share-alike license (you can use and share, but not profit from it.) However you may prefer HIS original design!
I love the style. It reminds me of decorative vignettes you find if you look through enough old books. In the old books, they were quite small.
Neat! I like!
Awwwwww thank yous! I WILL MAKE MORE.
You should draw bigger AND practice your superfineness.
Mebs I will. Mebs. I. Will.
