For an assignment, she had to do an image of me:



She did this as a simulated woodcut, on paper, then scanned and emailed it to me.

It looks alot like me, though in real life I'm in color.

If I can't get the image to work, and no mod can do it, here's the URL for the picture

The reason you can't post the bic was because it's a BMP. Apparently this board hates that.

Nice pic though, you have a funky beard.

That's actually pretty impressive. I haven't tried wood cut before. I used mounted lenolium for a few things. Once that bitch is hot it's easy to carve. The real trick is printing it. Man, is that a bitch. Looks sweet when it's done though.

No, what she did was paint a white paint on a piece of paper, dry it, then do a black ink on the paper, then washed it off. She didn't actually carve that image.

Oh, and thanks, Gandalf!

I'll have to agree with the thread' title, that draw is quite good indeed. Thumbs up for it.

Nice. And you are furry like a wookie.

Duh, I didn't call myself "hairless mole rat" for a reason

You also have the characteristic smugness of a Wookiee.

Very nice. Give her our compliments, please.

This is true too, Mr. Cringle. It's a very good picture.

Over on SB.com, they were marvelling how they'd never seen someone who looks exactly like his avatar:

I misread the original post, and thought it was a woodcut, where as, it's the 'style' of the woodcut. I'd like to know why she coated the paper white first, unless it was some sort of off white, or natural paper. For illustrations I use bristol board, or comic blue line paper, since it's a true white with no contamination. Plus it doesn't allow ink to bleed.

She paints the white parts white so the ink won't take, its a special compound. Then, when she washes the paper, only the parts she wants stained are.
