I’m looking into getting into relief printing using wood engraving and was wondering if anyone had suggestions for quality gouges to use? I didn’t see any printing threads so sorry if I missed it!

dupersaurus posted:Are you talking about end-grain engraving, or regular old carving? I think wood engravers are special tools related to metal engraving, and I don’t know about those. Otherwise you’re thinking carving gouges, and the question is “how much do you want to spend?” I have looked at Flexcut already but what are some of the more serious gouges out there? I’m willing to invest more in tools

dupersaurus posted:If you're talking about end-grain engraving, I don't know if any of the following applies. This is exactly what I was looking for and yeah I’m not doing any end grain carving, sorry if I wasn’t clear. Thanks for the link!

dupersaurus posted:Also get one of these to help keep them sharper longer. Using that and a plain leather strop for every hour of carving will help stave off the need to get stones for sharpening. I’ll take any advice I can! I’m new to all of this so I’m a big, dumb baby when it comes to relief printing so I appreciate everything you’ve provided

This might be a bit of on odd question but in what medium were old pulp magazine covers and trading cards typically done in such as the Mars Attacks cards? I believe it’s oil but I would just like a second thought on it some I haven’t done anything in oil before Edit: digging into it more it’s gouache so answered my own question!

TooMuchAbstraction posted:Can she just go to university courses? She might even be able to just audit the course (i.e. can attend classes, but work doesn't get graded and you receive no course credit) for a lower or zero fee. Call up those university teachers and ask about auditing courses as an adult. I had actually came into this thread to ask how to get started with the very, very basics to starting to learn to draw so I’m gonna give this Drawbox free lesions a try, thank you! If anyone else has any other suggestions of resources I’d take them as well

What are some good books/online resources/courses for someone basically starting from 0 with wanting to learn to draw? Using Google or any search engine anymore is such a crapshoot since the results are often SEO AI vomit now

Vilppu looks decent but the starting course is $800 and I'd have to save a bit for that one

Thanks all for the answers. I’m kinda terrified of failure so I was really worried that, as someone starting with no drawing skill at all at 34, unless I followed a correct growth of fundamentals path I’d never get any better no matter how much I tried

One last quick, dumb question. I have an iPad Pro 12.9 and an Apple Pencil. For someone just starting out should I only be using paper and material or is okay to practice using the iPad as a tablet?
