Starting to plan a big flock of Puffins...
Smaller flocks will also be printed - I am just going to have a warm-up session of Puffin lino cutting to see how they come out before going for the huge one!
I went to see Puffins on the Farne Isles in June and it was amazing, totally overwhelming to spend an hour on their island and watch and draw them. It was too early for Pufflings but the parents were busy.
I am trying to show their brilliant flappy flight in the way I draw them, so hopefully that will work out too as the drawing progresses....
I always draw my designs out on paper first before l transfer it to the lino block using tracing paper. It can take a while for a large lino block but I love drawing so would hate to miss that stage out. I know some people draw straight onto the block or just carve, but that is not for me!
