The lino cut gives way to expression through mark making, I find it easier to create depth and light and dark than with woodcuts. The line creates the contours of the face, and different depth of cuts can create shading. I can see that I could learn a lot more from reading about the way the different tools can give a thicker or thinner line and you can achieve far more detail than I have so far, I have collected books on techniques of lino and woodcutters to find out new techniques.
