This video shows the process of my first wood engraving. A wood engraving is a method of making fine art prints. It's similar to a woodcut but the block for wood engraving is capable of much finer detail than a standard woodcut. They are both a type of "relief" printing

There are two main parts to making wood-engraving fine art prints: the engraving of the block, and the printing.

I have an advantage in getting started with wood engraving. I have been a full-time illustrator for over forty years and a specialized in pen and ink on scratchboard for most of that time. What gives me the leg up with learning wood engraving is that I already know how to draw, but most importantly, my drawing style is the same as what is typically used with wood engraving.

Thank you for taking the time to watch my video.
