Time to Compose the First Part

A carousel of heads

In case you were wondering, I do break things down into steps in my planning process, which doesn’t mean anything is set in stone, but I do have a direction in mind. So today I took all those pieces and parts and put them together into some faces. I originally planned for eight faces, but I tend to gravitate to odd numbers, so I actually ended up doing seven.

I took each face and worked each part of the face a little differently, adding ink and colored pencil. It’s more interesting than just the linocut alone. I’m pleased with the way they have turned out. I feel like they have definite separate personalities despite having some of the same parts.
