How does a job similar to woodcuts, but on paper? 10 points for best answer!?
And I do not want to buy materials expensive and I want it's fairly easy:) Thanx
Woodblocking is made in the paper: The stamp is wood, paper usually is the media. If you do not have wood, which could carve his image in a block of linoleum, which is essentially the same thing. It's called linoleum instead of a recorded http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linocut wood. Linoleum is well priced, I have a good size, 6×5 blocks I used for etching for about $ 5 and a price set for the size of $ 10. And it's really easy and smooth carving in. If you want the look, not the Print part of it can easily simulate it with pen and ink with a quill pen. Ink and feathers / feathers immersion are pretty cheap, less than $ 2 usually, and easily accessible in places like craft stores. Just use very thick lines to simulate a "stamp" look, a bit like this piece http://berylsays.deviantart.com/art/Woodblock-67185265 types of wood (which is real, but it seems too difficult copy), or the use of very fine lines and crow's feather (tube types are very small feathers DIP) to simulate a Japanese Ukiyo-e type of wood (the entry a request for printing in Japan has http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodblock_printing_in_Japan good examples). It's just a different method of ordinary woodblocking and linoleum engraving is different than drawing, but they run on similar principles. You can also get a replica of an impression if you click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scratchboard Scratchboard, you only need the Board and a knife. Study examples of woodcuts that you like and see how you can translate in their art. Usually only a thing of style, such as Ukiyo-e prints, you can easily do without that size so you should look at a lot of such examples and try to emulate in a media you choose.
