An Artist's Sketchbook

If anyone is actually following along out there, you may remember I mentioned creating some illustrations as woodcuts(posted on 8/24/06). The following images are samples of the woodcuts they would like me to recreate.




The following image is from a cover of JOM. The monthly magazine that the organization publishes. This image of a electron microscope may not be one of the final acheivements voted on, but this is just for a sample piece to see if the exacution will work well or not.



This is my sketch so far. Not only do I need to make it look like a woodcut, but I replaced the person sitting there with a more sixteenth century looking figure. I think it looks good so far. I hope that when I ink it, it will have the look I am aiming for.



I posted this at wetcanvas to get some input from some fellow artists. you can check that out here
