this time i thought i would try a large graphite stick with a small drawing. the proportion of line width to drawing size is important, but i have not yet become accustomed to drawing with the implement. the whiskers were drawn with a regular sized pencil. i think i should try using more pressure.

this is my second linocut ever. i did anticipate the reverse image and reversed my sketch to compensate. however, i did not take care to transfer the graphite from the appropriate second sketch.

WOW a value added hamster. this hamster comes with it’s own seeds…  and there is shading… get it value, N-E-way, i like this one.
i am learning how to control line width, with a mechanical pencil, and it seems to be a great way to add some extra depth to these little fluff balls.

nano hamster.
i believe i have found a better way of treating the scans so the drawings have a bit more contrast while maintaining paper detail. i was worried that i would not be able to adjust all the hamsters consistently, but i think i am closer now. perhaps i will make a special ‘hamster action’ for photoshop!
