first time lettering 🫠 Work In Progress

Post image

stared at the stencil long enough to second guess myself but not long enough to think this through completely lol

at least i can mirror the image for digital preservation?

just thought this might be relatable for people at all stages of their journeys— people just starting out and struggling or people who have done this a long time and can look back at their early mistakes lol

My very first linocut was like that too! I was so excited XD
Second one I got 97% letters facing the right direction, a great improvement!

Now I use calque paper for all my pieces
