Cincy Pride print: pre-carve drawing

I’m going to start carving this week!

Ahead of carving I used the reference drawing with perspective lines I created last summer as a basis for creating and accurate, pre-carve drawing that captures all of the detail I want to achieve in the print.

I was unhappy with the perspective, size, and spacing of the panels of the Cincinnati sign in my reference drawing so I recreated the sign in 3D and traced over that in this pre-carve drawing.
