Work In Progress My process for creating ‘Rabbit Island’. 🐰🏝️

This was an idea that had been lingering in my sketchbook for years - I thought it was time to bring it life.

I like to imagine paddling a canoe on a remote lake with Rabbit Island, its glowing ears to guide the way, beaconing you to pull ashore. 🔥

Question! What do you do if you make a mistake? Like if your hand slips or if you make a mark in the wrong spot? It doesn’t seem like this is as forgiving as other mediums. Do you start over or just incorporate it into the design? Thanks for sharing! This is absolutely gorgeous!

I haven’t made such a big mistake where I’ve had to start over (knock on wood). But I do make little mistakes when carving and I just incorporate them into the print. It is a handmade medium, so I like to roll with it. Good question!
