How I LINOCUT ON FABRIC, Inspired by My Okapi Sculpture (& I Have a Woodzilla Press Now!)

Remember my okapi sculpture? Now I’m making a fabric-friendly block print portrait for printing on my own tank top, handmade, at home! This is also my first project using the Woodzilla printing press. I've waited so long to have my own press, and after this project, I’m super excited to make more block-printed clothing. This vlog highlights the process of converting my recent okapi sculpture into a drawing, and then transferring that drawing into a linocut block for printing onto fabric. This is also the first project using my new Woodzilla levered printing press, the first printing press I’ve ever owned. ✨In this video I share: ○ My digital drawing process in Autodesk Sketchbook app ○ Two methods I tried for transferring the design ○ A satisfying montage of rubber carving ○ Operating the Woodzilla levered press ▶️ YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE: ○ My playlist of model ANIMAL process videos: http://bit.ly/3IrumYO ○ My playlist of model HORSE process videos: https://bit.ly/3CaXcYp ○ My playlist of OTHER ART media, both horses & animals: http://bit.ly/3KTO7d7 I publish videos once a month sharing my adventures in creating horse and animal art in my free time for my own enjoyment, like sculpture, painting, printmaking and more.
