Comic character canvass

I am super surprised how much fine detail came out in this one as opposed to my last

You do this kind of burning on a textile canvas?

Indeed, the result is very effective.
Would be curious to see the Human Torch (Fantastic Four) with this method. Would be appropriate as we burn material… :grin:

I picked up some framed pre-painted white canvases on sale from a craft store. I have had pretty good luck with them, but discovered there is a fine line between etching and see-thru.

I paint the canvas white, spray it black then burn the negative into it.

Yes, I know. I read that in another posting. Still amazed you can burn the black and leave the white. :smiley:

Finding just the right settings is the trick, so lots of materials tests

For those doing 100+ parts, this is no big deal. Cost of doing business. For those doing a lot of one-off projects, this is a substantial portion of the project cost.
