Questions, answered.
What makes a engraving / woodcut tattoo distinctive?
Carved marks and parallel hatching make texture. It uses firm carved-looking edges and parallel engraved hatching and high-contrast black cuts.
Which subjects suit engraving / woodcut designs?
Try raven, pine forest or whale tail. Keep the subject original and describe one clear focal point.
How much space should I allow for engraving / woodcut?
The starting recommendation is 10 cm. Smaller requests remain available, but details are simplified and your artist should assess actual spacing.
Can I use color in a engraving / woodcut concept?
This preset is designed around monochrome contrast. A color request is gently adapted to black and grey. Line-only is also available for a clearer contour study.
How do I create and print my own engraving / woodcut idea?
Choose this style, describe your subject, and set placement and size. Use Stencil on a result to create a mirrored or tiled real-size PDF; print at 100% and measure the calibration square.
