‘Dragon D20’ illustration for wood engraving

To illustrate the sponsoring pages on Patreon and Tipeee, I started by making a list of the drawings I need. Then, I made more or less detailed sketches, which will serve as a basis when I get to the inking stage. For this drawing, for example, I did several tests. I then scanned, enlarged, and printed the chosen sketch, so that it serves as a basis for a more worked penciling. Then, I used my light
