    Thanks for the video I’m a poor homeless man living in a vehicle looking for a way to free myself instead of stepping back into society for some more suffering. This seems like a beautiful way for me to create something that I can continue to use to make money on the road I love it

      @@hennabyeevi It would depend, but generally I'd say it'd be too thin and too soft. You need a good thickness to get the relief and you need a good stiffness to press with. You could treat the leather (boil it for example) for stiffness, but you do need that thickness.
      At least a couple of mm, better with 3+ thickness as you have to carve out strips of it.

    Thanks so much for the easy to understand explanation. When I look at old illustrations in old books, I would see two artists' names credited: usually the initial artist, and then the woodblock cutter, and I didn't understand how that process worked until now.

    • @rebeccadonaldson1464
      @rebeccadonaldson1464 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I don't know about the paper. Use anything which is not too absorbent, and has a callendared finish.
      You can see from looking closely at the video that this is not using wood (timber), it is a fibreboard, coarser than MDF. He has clearly fixed the surface and maybe his drawing before carving with something like Sanding Sealer, which is basically Shellac disolved in Methylated Spirits otherwise known as French Polish. This dries in seconds and will keep his edges clean.
      However it will not be long lasting as at the first signs of moisture in the air the fibreboard absorbs this and swells and collapses. Traditionally, print block makers used Yellow Boxwood as it is almost grain free and does not change size much with humidity or temperature.

    Looks great, would rather do lino-cut though. A lot easier to work with and there's the opportunity to cut away sections or cut sections out to avoid those horrible scratchy areas finding their way onto your print, where you've cut away and ink has gotten into the huge groove you've made.
