I miss that so much! I really hope they bring it back or something similar.

I go straight to color! I really should play around with doing values first though just to see if that helps my process.

I typically also start over a brown background. It doesn't hurt my eyes and I do a lot of maps so I like starting with that old paper vibe from yhe get go.

It really helped me with exploring and figuring out how I preferred to draw out different things :)

Digital for anything I'm really gonna invest time and potential use in but I do love sketching and playing around with stuff in a notebook.

A few stamp designs ✨ What stamps should I make next?

linoleum block stamp of a woodcock mounted to a wooden round, with a print of the stamp in black ink next to it.

Same photo format as previous but the stamp is of an oak leaf and two acorns.
