Woodcut prints are relief prints made by carving an image into a wood block, inking the raised surface, and pressing it onto paper. The result features bold black-and-white contrast with characteristic wood grain texture visible in the printed areas. Lines have a slightly rough, hand-carved quality, and solid areas show subtle ink variation from the printing pressure. Color woodcuts use separate blocks for each color, creating flat, layered tones.

Common questions about generating woodcut print art with AI
What is a woodcut print?
A woodcut is the oldest printmaking technique, dating back to 5th century China. Artists carve an image into a flat wood block, removing the areas that should not print. The remaining raised surface is inked and pressed onto paper. The process creates bold, graphic images with a distinctly hand-carved character.

What is the difference between woodcut and linocut in AI art?
Woodcut AI results show visible wood grain texture in the ink areas and slightly rougher line quality. Linocut results are smoother and cleaner because linoleum has no grain. Woodcuts tend to look more rustic and historical, while linocuts feel more modern and graphic. Both share bold black-and-white contrast.
