Elephants!

I've had several people request elephant journals, so I spent some time working on elephant printing blocks today.

Quick Warm-Up sketches!

Took a little more time with these. They will become the printing blocks.

Scanned this one into photo shop and flipped it horizontally, because I decided I wanted the finished block to print with the trunk the other way.

Transferred to carving material (I'm liking Speedball's Speedy-Carve these days. NOT to be confused with Speedy-Cut which is frankly crumbly and awful.) Carved and carved and carved until I could do a test print!
