The final post for this year! I’m finishing this series off with another digital style that echos traditional media I have done in the past — this one’s linocut. I used to do a lot of printmaking, but it is now too hard for my hands to carve very much. It occurred to me that I could “carve” away colour with an eraser tool in Procreate, and get a very similar look, with the bonus of being able to swap colours around until I was happy with them. Many of the linocuts I used to do had hand-colouring, usually watercolour and this “faux-lino” style mimics that concept as well.
That wraps up 2023! May the changing of the year find you happy in whatever space you are in, whether celebrating wildly or getting a good night’s sleep, and may the New Year dawn full of hope and renewed energy!
