In seeing how much you carve away, I wonder if it might be easier, at least in some areas to build up the areas to print instead of carving everything else away. A few years ago I went to a printmaking workshop where we did a number of novel techniques. My favorite started with a thin board and then we created an image on the board using various kinds of adhesive tape. Masking tape, scotch tape and paper tape as well as just plain paper glued down on the board. Then we applied thick printers ink, rubbing on a thin layer and after carefully laying some paper on top we rubbed it down onto the plate with the back of a wooden spoon. The variety of textures created by the different tapes was quite amazing.

I just discovered your series! Thank you!

So happy to hear it! Please let me know if you have questions along the way

Owemjiiiiiiiii! Thank you so much for this. Your video was out when I tried to search on Google on how to make a woodblock print. Your is so easy to understand and it would be easy for me to explain it in the class since I was assigned in Ukiyo-e(Japanese print). Thank you so much.

Thank you Jan I appreciate it!

I started my first few Japanese prints on my own as well. I source my own cherry wood from old limbs and logs, resale them and flatten them with a planer all by hand. I have some woodworking skills that I’ve been working on. I’ve been using public domain images but can’t work up the courage to draw my own images yet.

Very cool that you are sourcing the wood yourself like that!

Part two les gooo

Hey, please don't take this the wrong way, if you are homophobic, but you are SUPER cute~! (I mean this as a compliment, btw.) Also, thank you very much for this video series. I have made hanga with rubber blocks before, but I'm about to make my first one using an actual wood block, so I appreciate your videos very much.

Thank you and good luck with your first wood carvings. I appreciate your comment and I'm glad you found it useful!

What size is your wood block verses the actual print?

The woodblock just needs to be large enough to fit the print outline and the registration marks. The distance between the outline and the registration marks will determine how large the border around your print will be. Therefore, at a minimum I would add about 1.5-2 cm to the desired print dimensions to determine the minimum wood block size. I hope that is helpful!
