After the drawings, I wanted to be able to capture his features through woodcuts as this was the medium I was going to be using.  I planned on making these images large scale so I felt strongly that if they're big, they should be good!  So this is a practice woodcut I did before I moved onto the large scale pieces.

For an experiment and just for fun, I took the wood chippings I carved out of his hair and glued them back onto one of the prints to get the light colour in his hair.  This took ages and this was the outcome!

This was a pleasant moment of pure madness!  Cross hatching and tonal values are not a strong point for me so I have to work on this!
