Stamp Art!!

Today I followed this tutorial on creating your own stamps and digitizing the art afterwords as well! Check it out here: https://candacenicolgarlock.com/blog/http/wwwcandacegarlockcom-5 

I started my process with a sketch of a sea shell and star fish. I then pressed the sketch into the carving block to allow for the pencil led to transfer the image over:

Then, I did a first press test after carving for a while and this is how it came out:

I made some revisions and carved a bit more while space into the shell and star fish to add more highlights and detail. It looked much better after I did that:

After that, I took the images into chat GPT and prompted it to "Use this art work as the background of an ocean art scene"

I'm pretty happy with this but it could use a little tweaking... "Use these images to create a beach scene, keep it in the style of the photos, rough and imperfect with stamp textures"

Thank you for reading!! -This was a lot of fun to do and I used complimentary colors as seen in the orange and blue to practice the elements of art.
