This is only my 4th attempt but it took a few steady hours. It's fairly small too, the paper is A5.
I'm working up to doing 2 or 3 colour but I don't want to run till I can walk! Also, materials aren't cheap. I intend to try selling these as a fun sideline but if I keep spunking £££ on ruined Lino then it won't be viable.
For a great website devoted to it check out Linocut Boy - very inspiring and informative. If I was darn sarf I'd consider taking one of his courses.

The lino isn't that cheap when you're getting through a lot of it. I wonder if there's some cheap alternative substance that's good for practising on?
I'll take a look at Linocut Boy.

I really need to get my DIY screen printing rig set up again. It's been way too long!

You can get a substance called softcut which is cheaper than quality Linoleum. It's good because it's cheap and very durable - it doesn't degrade. Downside is it doesn't cut quite as nicely as Linoleum. I actually did both my skulls on softcut.
