The White Rabbit

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been working on this for my printmaking class but I haven’t really posted it anywhere. The assignment is to make a print that covers 3 blocks, with a head on the top, torso in the middle, and legs on the bottom, separated so that they can be switched around with other peoples’ blocks and make a sort of Exquisite Corpse. Here it is from start to where I am now:

First I drew him out the same size as each block

Then I traced the drawing onto tracing paper (not shown here), flipped that over, and traced it AGAIN onto transfer paper on top of my 3 blocks (the blue is the transfer drawing)

Carved out the head, and then the body. I made a lot of mistake here as the wood splinters really easily, but just had to work around each mistake

And this is what I have so far. The arms are kinda short and the legs are kinda long, but I think once I carve in the hands and the feet it’ll look a bit better. I need 4 prints and I only have 2 classes left. I think if I finish the carving today I’ll be able to do all of it on time :D

    omg D:
    i had to do a woodcut as well consisting of four layers -_- and we need 7 prints just finished it tonight :D and yours is looking rad :]
  • I know this is like, 5 days late, but I just wanted to say that considering your subject is a rabbit and not a human, the arms would be a bit shorter and the legs would be longer. That's just the way rabbits are built.

    I think it looks great. Do we get to see the final result? =)
