It can be challenging to work in multiple colours from the start. I usually work in monotone first, establishing shades and highlights. Only then will I add colours on additional layers, applying various blend modes to achieve synthetic lighting.

What I enjoy most about using ProCreate is the playback feature. I have an idea of what I want to create when I start, but I really like seeing how my process moves between correcting or keeping. This makes me value the final result more!

Doing another print run on this lino - I need to come up with a better naming convention for these mermaids. For now Mermaid Lino 01 will have to do.

Six good prints completed by hand today. Minor corrections were done with ink afterwards, especially on the eye, where I had overcorrected the etch and taken away too much of the iris.

My second linocut - printed by hand. Got about 6 good prints today. I have to do some minor ink corrections as I over corrected her eyes and ended up making the one pupil too small.

First Linocut and Handprint done in years. The carving process is very satisfying... once the design is transferred to the lino, I just carve away. If I get interrupted, no problem; I just come back to it when I need something to keep my hands busy. The printing, on the other hand, takes dedicated time, space, and patience... next on my wish list is a little printing press.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Hiking during Flower Season is so inspirational. I captured these images during a hike through the Postberg Nature Reserve a few years ago. My friend was a willing model, and the photographs I took of her inspired me to create a mixed media illustration as a gift for her birthday.
