Dragonfly

I made this dragonfly in a children's book illustration class. This piece was made from carving out a linoleum block and can be classified as block printing. Blocks come in various sizes and are carved out using sharp Speedball tips. The tips come in round or v-shaped sizes. Once your image is carved, you roll out the ink with a brayer and press on to paper. For more step by step info, check out http://www.ehow.com/how_11981_carve-linoleum-block.html.
