The mule caught my eye. In the original the beast looks kind of grumpy. I love the simplicity of early European woodcuts that predate the use of cross-hatching. Interplay between the artist&#8217;s pen and the wood cutter&#8217;s knife creates a unique style of curves and angles. On a whim, I used Corel&#8217;s &#8220;woodcut&#8221; trick to see what would happen,\u00a0 hoping that it would look like my drawing had actually been carved into a block. Contrarily, the computer program took a much more modern approach, I think, by translating the 15th-century lines into forms that might be preferred by an early 20th-century Expressionist.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mysketches.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/mysketches.net\/2011\/04\/woodcut-donkey-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-485\" title=\"woodcut donkey 3\" src=\"http:\/\/mysketches.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/mysketches.net\/2011\/04\/woodcut-donkey-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"493\" height=\"696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mysketches.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/woodcut-donkey-3.jpg 493w, https:\/\/mysketches.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/woodcut-donkey-3-212x300.jpg 212w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 493px) 100vw, 493px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This sketch is the ninety-third in a 365-day challenge to draw a picture a day, every day, for a year\u2026 Day ninety-three: Paging through a book about the woodcut in 15th-century Europe, I browsed upon one of Christ&#8217;s Entry into Jerusalem from c. 1440-1445 with traces of faded color.
