Graphic printmaking. Drypoint on zinc and copper. The first print I made with the mice and tree wasn’t dark enough. I coloured it using watercolours, quite satisfied with the result. Yeah…and I have read Mouse Gard, so I guess I’m inspired by it.

I like the heavily textured appearance of the shading, like the light has been scrubbed on. 🙂
Thank you! Well, the plate is filled with ink so it goes in to the cracks etched with drypoint, then you carefully scrub the ink off the plate. So the light parts are the most scrubbed parts, so to speak.
